Yup. Or may be its not that they are redundant, but rather the whole framing around diversity is a bit off. The way I look at it is this: the real goal is to make sure that the community is open, inclusive, collaborative and welcomes anybody regardless of their affiliation. Having a super diverse community is one way to qualify. But I think even less diverse communities can be seen to take "Apache Way" governance model to heart. And with my Geode's mentor hat on I can definitely say that Geode community has come a looooong way and is definitely ready from that standpoint. Thanks, Roman.
