------------------------------------

...

Dial-in info:

...

  • Introductions (if there are new people on the call)

    • Jamie Smith, new CMO at Linux Foundation introduced herself

  • Identifying concrete next steps for the group


Notes and Action Items

  1. Karen Ottoni presented & discussed through her work plan:

    1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tkcvQ4ULTFfROg87091YWdG-6KXGYWa37egcGR-GY2o/

  2. 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.

    1. 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.

  3. Discussion of how this group’s efforts can become a pilot effort around various best practices to introduce across other LF properties.

    1. Mandy Olund will be bringing research on (how job application criteria affects who applies) + (...) to a mid-Jan meeting [missed the date].

  4. How often to meet?

    1. Bi-weekly to keep energy & keep progress going

...

Dial-in info:

...

  • Introductions (if there are new people on the call)

    • Mandy to take responsibility to find baseline diversity metrics/goals to bring to the group

    • David to set up regular meeting invite for the group -- biweekly and same time

    • Everyone to review and edit/comment the relevant working docs linked to in the agenda

    • David to put the docs in suggestion mode

    • Karen to put table together for objectives/goals

  • 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.
