[diversity] Survey - "Have you ever experienced or witnessed harrassment, intimidation or any other unwanted behaviour while at a RIPE Meeting?"

Hello all,

The mail to ripe-list very clearly makes it sound like this survey is an action of the diversity task force. But this was never discussed on this mailing list? This seems very strange to me. How did that seem like a reasonable thing to do?

I know governance processes around the task force are a bit fuzzy, but widely announcing a task force action that was never even shared on the mailing list, is very bizarre to me.

I’ll leave comments on the survey and its purpose aside, as it seems like it's too late to share them now :/
