I suggest the following wording for our request to the board. I welcome suggestions for improvement.
"The ComDev PMC hereby requests that the board create a President's committee tasked with supporting our communities in their efforts to be diverse and welcoming places, and tasked with helping the ASF formulate a strategy to improve our diversity and inclusiveness. The ComDev PMC likewise formally requests that the new committee look for ways in which ComDev can support our progress in these areas." For reference, here's the thread containing the actual D&I resolution, that this request is intended to refer to: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/6e6a057cd0edabc3c3337b6d96bb3c3c86361e4c1ef673493659edae@%3Cdiversity.apache.org%3E I will call a vote starting on May 5th. I'm setting a deadline for two reasons: 1.) the D&I proposal is planned for consideration at the May 15th board meeting. 2.) We have a tendency to lose ourselves in tangents when it comes to this topic, and I want the discussion to remain focused. Best Regards, Myrle PMC Member, Apache Community Development
