Discussion

• Desire for a single concrete next step.

• Consensus on focusing on improving gender diversity.

• The first step is establishing baseline data on gender 

• Key questions:

  • who collects

  • where stored (assume LF)

  • who can analyze

  • data retention period

• Efforts to improve diversity needn't be gated on the baseline concluding

• Future steps should include establishing a goal for gender diversity

• Additional data may be interesting during the baseline effort

  • Attrition viz. inclusivity

• Tools for collection

  • Possible Gates: LFID, GitHub

• We could get started on a survey

• How often? Proposed annually.

  • Hyperledger has an annual election (which is a sort of secondary measure which is annual).

  • A direct survey could be ran annually.

  • Best practice is to triangulate on 3 sources (e.g. annual election, survey, and <?>)
