+1 Can it be in plain English please, rather than weird jargon? Examples include: * "Gender diversity for the board as a whole" - this might mean counting how many women are on the board (so why not say that?), or maybe it includes other dimensions, like a count of LGBT identifying people. The "board as a whole" might mean that the count is of people who are not actually board members, it is very unclear. * "Geographic diversity for the board as a whole" - this might mean counting the number of countries where board members reside, or how many different countries they have resided in, or how much they travel, or several other things. It may or may not be a part of "Ethnic / multi-lingual diversity for the board as a whole" which is counted as a second thingy. * "Visionary creative drive" - this appears to be classic management speak rather than English. I hope that the board has very few "visionaries", it sounds like having several might become disruptive. Boards benefit from having several people who are not "creative" (that can be a good thing when you want basic stuff actually done, like giving some oversight for the annual accounts).
