[diversity] RIPE Diversity TF Meeting - 5 March 2019 - draft minutes

Dear Amanda, others,

Reading about the low mentorship participation rate I might consider to 
enlist myself. But to be honest I really don't know how things have 
changed since 2010 as I have been quite out of the loop (unfortunately).

I am joining again for RIPE78 and also hope to contribute one way or 
another to the diversity TF.

For those not knowing me, I was working with RIPE NCC with New Projects, 
then OPS, then Information services mainly for TTM and have been 
involved in the OPS meeting team for some time.

Best Regards,
     Ruben van Staveren
