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 <?>)

Action items

• David Boswell to invite an LF (HR/Legal) representative to help answer the 4 key questions above.
