We have discussed diversity at the IETF at length. Yesterday, Pete
Resnick and I wrote an article about what we think the goal for the
IETF should be, as well as listing some of the early activities that
we have taken at the IETF. Our goal is making the IETF more
inclusive for everyone who needs to be working on Internet
standards. We are at the beginning, however, and a lot of work
remains ahead. Here's the article:
I agree that the word "diversity" is a catch phrase.
There was an exchange between Leaf Yeh and Ted Hardie on this mailing
list. It is encouraging to see people from different sides of the
world having an exchange of opinions.
It's been one IETF meeting since several women spoke at the
microphone during the plenary. There aren't that many people from
different countries speaking at the microphone during a plenary.
I have one question. The subject line says "setting a goal". How
would you assess the results? Please note that I am not asking about
how to measure the results.
