Hi Jari,
I have gave many feedback on the diversity issue, and I thank you for the article, I agree with iot totally. I will repeat my comment, that the design team of diversity SHOULD make clear what is its goals and milestones, therefore, we can give better feedback, but leaving that hidden to management, then only the special people listed in your article, I would prefer that the design team are selected by diversity parameters ( gender, region, age, necomer-oldcomer, etc). Thanks again,
AB

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:

Also, I wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow in the Administrative Plenary, Kathleen Moriarty and Suresh Krishnan will be talking about what they have uncovered so far in their efforts in the diversity design team. I'm looking very much forward to their report. Their efforts will help us understand where we have room to improve - often by much :-) - and what kinds of actions we can take to improve our inclusiveness.
