The letter specifically mentioned the axes of race, gender, geographic location and corporate affiliation, so the letter was not only about race and gender. Other people have mentioned other pertinent axes in the e-mail discussion, such as industry segment and background/experience. I don't think it is possible for remove race and gender from the list of axes, though, since there is a notable lack of diversity in those areas. Margaret
