Re: [ripe-list] Announcing Diversity Task Force draft charter, plus activities at RIPE 75

[Daniel Karrenberg]

Shane, others,

thank you for producing this charter. I am very happy to see the
essential elements of a task force here: a work plan and a fixed date
for reviewing the continued usefulness of the task force i. This
chaerter is a sound basis for constructive work to improve RIPE.

Could you please consider removing the words "and marginalised" from the
charter. The word marginalised implies that the RIPE community actively
and intentionally marginalises anyone. This is not the case and
therefore these words are not appropriate. Omitting them does not change
the substance of the charter in any way either.

Thank you

Daniel

I think the draft charter pretty well covers everything. I'd like to
express my thanks to the TF for their work so far.

On a side note, although the gender balance in the TF as a whole is
good, it is interesting to note considerable imbalance in the two
sub-communities. Does the TF have any idea why this might be?

All the best

Nigel
