Action Items and Notes
- The group spent most of the call collaboratively editing the DCIWG proposal doc during the call
- Dan to send out proposal to stakeholders for feedback in advance of formally proposing this to TSC
- The question of an interim chair wasn't resolved today, but the group plans to resolve the interim chair decision over email before the next bi-weekly call
- There was a discussion about if to do something related to the DCIWG at Member Summit. Alissa to put thoughts together about a possible workshop and Karen will check on what space is available in the agenda
- The need to do some wiki gardening came up and it makes sense to do this when setting up wiki pages for a DCIWG if the proposal is accepted

- Silona: It may be useful to put the draft note into the format of a WG proposal to provide the information that the TSC will be looking for – Working Group Proposals
- Alissa shared some of her experience at Accenture doing research on DCI in the blockchain space and this involved both a poll and some opt in qualitative informational interviews
- The group spent time collaboratively editing the proposal doc to make additions
- David to start a wiki page using the Propose New Working Group template and copy over content from the Google Doc and the rest of the group can edit that wiki to polish the proposal
- Dan to put a discussion of this on to the TSC call in two weeks' time

Jamie Smith, new CMO at Linux Foundation introduced herself
Identifying concrete next steps for the group
Finalizing on 2019 goals for the group
Rewriting/Updating the draft Charter
Notes and Action Items
Karen Ottoni presented & discussed through her work plan:
Jamie Smith introduced the next phase of the LF work on diversity, civility, and inclusion that includes several elements. She is interested in having the Hyperledger Foundation work via this committee as a pilot for doing similar across the LF.
Elements of next phase include: how to get underrepresented people into senior roles; how to set best practices for behavior & expectations across groups; new research group to look at how to capture and store data that shows the lay of the land and moving forward in a useful and non-threatening way.
Discussion of how this group’s efforts can become a pilot effort around various best practices to introduce across other LF properties.
Mandy Olund will be bringing research on (how job application criteria affects who applies) + (...) to a mid-Jan meeting [missed the date].
How often to meet?
Bi-weekly to keep energy & keep progress going

Identifying concrete next steps for the group
Drafting a goal and vision statement for our efforts?
Rewriting/Updating the draft Charter?
Notes and Action Items
Mandy -- focus on inclusiveness and welcoming will bring diversity. What’s the mechanism for getting baseline data -- for example surveys. As an open source group, we don’t have the same structures to gather data as other orgs -- for instance, other orgs get some data, such as gender, through the hiring process. We should define what the magic door is where we get information from people?
Survey information from last year: https://lists.hyperledger.org/g/tsc/message/1860
Options to consider:
Survey (probably best short-term option, but not something that is viable longer term, for instance survey fatigue will limit results)
Automated name guessing (Other LF projects have used this)
Community profiles (This would require infrastructure but having a place for people to self-report data about themselves is the best long-term option. This has worked for other communities. For instance, we have over self-reported gender information for over 90% of meetup attendees who use the meetup.com profiles)
Survey seems best for our needs and we’ll need to consider how to address issues with survey fatigue if we send surveys out regularly which is an issue that other communities have flagged that use surveys to gather diversity data through surveys. And we’ll need to understand how to collect and manage this data in appropriate ways for having personally identifiable information.
Goals discussion for this group are being captured in Karen’s goal tracking doc linked above.

Next steps? What do we want to do as a group? What do we want to propose to the TSC this Thursday?
Options to consider:
Survey (probably best short-term option, but not something that is viable longer term, for instance survey fatigue will limit results)
Automated name guessing (Other LF projects have used this)
Community profiles (This would require infrastructure but having a place for people to self-report data about themselves is the best long-term option. This has worked for other communities. For instance, we have over self-reported gender information for over 90% of meetup attendees who use the meetup.com profiles)
Can we decide on one concrete step to start before the end of the year.
My [Dan] bias is towards figuring out how we measure our diversity.
