*DIVERISTY SUB-GROUP*



*PAPER ON OFFICE OF DIVERSITY PUBLIC COMMENTS*



*Preamble:*



The Diversity sub-group presented a report for public comments that
presented diversity at ICANN identified by a number of elements by which
diversity may be characterized, measured and reported. The report was
informed by feedback from ICANN Supporting Organization(SO)/Advisory
Committee (AC)/groups through a Diversity Questionnaire. In the report the
Sub-group proposes a number of recommendations by which ICANN may define,
measure, report, support and promote diversity. It also indicated that
there was a lack of consensus on the establishment on an office of
diversity and sought to receive public comments on the position of the
office of diversity.



*Summary of Responses from Public Comments:*



   - Total of 15 comments



   - 6 had no comments on an office of diversity
      - 3 supported an office of diversity or a panel
      - 3 supported an office of diversity
      - 3 rejected the notion of an office of diversity.



   - Breakdown by major categories



   - 7 SO/ACs/Board (those which will have to approve the WS2 final report):



   - 4 had no comments
         - 3 Rejected the notion of an office of diversity



   - 2 Governments:



   - 1 had no comments on an office of diversity
         - 1 supported an office of diversity



   - 6 Individuals/Associations:



   - 1 had no comments on an office of diversity
         - 3 supported an office of diversity or a panel
         - 2 supported an office of diversity





*Summary of Positions relating to the OOD from Public Comments:*



1.      Establishment of an office of diversity or a panel similar to what
is proposed in the Ombuds recommendations.

2.      Establishment of an office of diversity

3.      Rejection of an office of diversity in favour of staff performing
this work.



*Required Actions:*

The Sub-group on diversity does not have one solid position from the public
comments but has instead received a number of options that need to be
discussed further and weighed in order to determine how oversight of
diversity can be pursued.
