Let me ask a couple of specific questions of you.

I think that these are good questions.

Who have you mentored in the past 5 years? Have they ended up as working group chairs, or ADs or IAB members? Do they mostly represent under-represented groups? How many of them were employed by your employer (e.g. was this a work related task?)?

I don't mentor IETF participants as I consider everyone who does not have a title as a peer. None of the peers I have interacted with ended up as working group chair, Area Director or IAB member. I have not given much thought about whether most of the peers I have interacted with represent under-represented groups. My guess is that it is a significant number.

During your time as an AD, how many women did you arm twist/recruit specifically (or ask nicely) to take WG positions in your area (as opposed to them coming to you or your co-AD)?

I do some things on behalf of the Applications Area directorate. At the last IETF meeting I asked four women whether they would like to do some reviews. There was one positive answer. There are people of different ages. There are people who work for a range of vendors on the directorate. There are a few people who work for universities. There are people who come from different parts of the world. The list of reviewers and the work they perform is published on an IETF web site [1]. If anyone has questions about under-represented groups in relation to the directorate please post a message to this mailing list and I will reply.
