Hi all

Long time lurker here.

for what it's worth, I am by no means an expert in diversity.

The cat seems to be out of the sack with the survey, and I fully
support doing this.

It may be too early, it may have some problems. 

Unfortunately we do have a huge problem with people ignoring the
problems in our communities. We see them being ignored all the time.

I have followed a lot of the Code of Conduct discussion and am proud to
say that we have a code of conduct on BornHack where I have been part
of making it a great experience for people.

I would VERY much like to see a strong and consistent leadership support
and more from the diversity task force being implemented at RIPE
meetings. Which would make it better for a lot of people!

For this to happen we probably need more "evidence" and the survey and
discussion may well achieve this. 

So thanks to all of you being active.

Best regards

Henrik
