[Ws2-diversity] Draft Questions on Diversity

[Pam Little]

Hi everyone,

 

I have added some additional questions for your review and consideration.

 

The attached Word document is based on the first draft prepared by Fiona and Rafik with further changes tracked (including those suggested by Renata). I am sure others can improve on it so please feel free to edit or change. 

 

I will not be able to join our call later today – please accept my apologies. 

 

Kind regards,

 

Pam

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
