[Ws2-diversity] Draft Questions on Diversity

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hello

Just a quick suggestion

Geographical/regional representation

Observing that

Geographical
As defined by political frontiers defined by governments often with with
recognition of intergovernmental organizations (for instance nation states
recognized by UN such as Brazil, Kenya, China etc.)

Regional
Representations which are not represented in government or
intergovernmental policies but which matter to geopolitical representation
(for instance: Amazon region, Subsaharan Africa, Rural areas, Refugee camps
etc.)

Also, if I may, another quick suggestion

"informal practices" on diversity
I'd suggest adding or replacing
"unwritten policies"

Observing that

Many diversity efforts span from outreach and proactive measures of seeking
out candidates which may increase diversity in an employment process or
other such action.
It can be compared as a company which visits universities and tries to
prospect employees based on diversity criteria or diverse efforts of
"watercooler talk", inreach effort targeting employees to promote to an
specific type of hire.

Just a couple of suggestions out there. I had volunteered to help w/ this
so I'm not sure if there will be a doc to put suggestions on still but,
hope this helps.

Best

Renata
