Based on the prior months of exploring what aspects we could address, the group decided to focus on one area first, gender diversity and inclusion, and then learn from that experience to expand into other dimensions of DCI. We recognize there are many reasons to select one group or another as a place to start, and we have settled on this area after lengthy discussions of the circumstances, possible approaches, and not blocking on making progress from optimizing for perfection.  The experience with the 2018 TSC election having only men who were nominated self-nominate also motivated the group to choose gender diversity as the initial focus. Further record of the group's progress towards this initial goal is captured in the Background and References section below. We also strongly welcome participation in this group from those who wish to focus their energy on developing the next round of DCI objectives.

3. Gender diversity and inclusion recommendations to Hyperledger Staff. A reworked mentor/menteeship plan for 2020
4. Shifting engagement and marketing plan to include attending job fairs, marketing on handshake, and direct marketing to universities through local meetups. Concentrating on universities with a more diverse pool of potential mentees.
Shifting mentor/menteeship categories from 100% coding related to some mix of coding and non-coding projects to broaden the variety of opportunity to appeal to the most possible people.
5. A reworked community engagement plan for 2020
   1. Splitting speaking/panel/booth time opportunities from 100% RFP to some mix of RFP and invite-only to shift the sample set to reflect what we want in the outcome.
