[Ws2-diversity] Diversity relevance on WS2 Diversity Draft Report

Sun May 21 15:06:08 UTC 2017

Hi Marie

I've added your comments to the doc
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l2cGcx8nNvYSg_ZMUVnoC2t0VKb4ATQVTXxcxYILrXc/edit

I've specifically added point 1 on the text as a suggestion as I agree w/
making it clear the relevance of diversity in the scope
However I change the word  "right range" for "extensive range" as we've
discussed there may be diversity elements this effort does not cover, yet.

However, I'll have to state I'm unsure about your points 2 and 3

Point 2  - CEO should ensure diversity
ICANN may have a CEO who doesn't identify w/ the theme (not a specific
comment to any CEO that is or ever was or will be) and who may be an
advocate for other important efforts in the organization. This doesn't mean
it would be someone against diversity but certainly not an advocate to
this. How can we ask for this if there's no way to make sure the CEO is an
advocate for diversity?

Point 3 - Specific targets
This keeps coming and going as an idea and I agree it should be in the text
but not sure if here and in this form.
I'm starting to think this has to phrased clearly, almost mathematically
Ensure all regions - check 5 continents - in all groups
Certify there's an attempt to gender balance in leadership positions - at
least 1/3
I know however situations differ and doing the math may cause a huge
backlash on efforts so this would need to be better thought according to
bylaws and all

Best,

Renata
