Discussion

  • Discussion of draft survey questions and next steps
    • From last meeting:
      • Action item: Karen to take a pass at rewording and numbering questions based on this conversation
      • Action item: Dan to bring the survey up at next week's TSC meeting
        • Dan deferred based on us making more changes. Can bring this up this week if we decide we are >=80% done.
  • Discussion of blog post
    • I think we are just waiting on the survey launch.
  • Discussion of how group participates in HGF 2020
    • From last time: 
    • Action item: Keep this item on the agenda for next week and David will post question to the DCIWG mailing
  • Discuss chair election process
    • If we have >1 candidate can we do this offline to be inclusive, e.g. survey monkey over 2 weeks?

Backlog

  • Chair election (Targeting <=3 months after inception)
  • A measurement plan to baseline the community.
  • Gender diversity and inclusion recommendations to the TSC.
  • Gender diversity and inclusion recommendations to Hyperledger Staff.
  • CHAOSS discussion 
  • Initiative Brainstorming (Dan Middleton / All)
    • Besides the community questionnaire, what more do we need for baselining the community?
    • How will we generate gender diversity and inclusion recommendations?
    • What other areas are people passionate about and can suggest actions for?
      • Are there technical recommendations? (Make first commits easier? Convert a one time contributor to a two time contributor? ...?)
      • Outreach to member companies and other companies "staffing" hyperledger projects?
  • What activities does this group want to do at Global Forum in March?  CFP deadline is coming up at end of September if we want to submit talk ideas

Notes

  • Discussion of edits to the survey that Karen has done since the last meeting.  Ideas were raised on ways to combine questions to reduce overall number of questions and discussed how we were looking for input on people's experiences vs. their values.  Also discussed which tool we would use to create survey and if it would require the use of a Linux Foundation ID or not.  Also discussed when to take this to the TSC and how to promote this out when it is ready.
    • Action Item: Karen to take another pass at survey based on discussion
    • Action item: Add agenda item to future call about defining the promotion plan for survey when it is ready
    • Action item: After Karen has made the edits, Swetha will send to the TSC mailing list and request adding it to a call agenda
  • Discussion around blog post. It seems solid but there is still time to edit.
    • Action item: If anyone has feedback, please comment in the doc
  • Discussion of how group can participate in Global Forum in March. We should use this opportunity to discuss the group and recruit people into it at the Diversity reception.  Are there interactive ways to capture data at the event, such as having an interactive wall board (example) where people can add information that helps us identify different aspects of diversity, such as which time zones people are from.  We could also do a mentoring/1:1 experience such as the Ambassador effort we did at last HGF.  And do we want to submit something to the CFP about running inclusive meetings.
    • Action item: David to start a thread on the list about interactive activities at HGF
    • Action item: Swetha to draft a CFP submission and we'll discuss on the list
    • Action item: Swetha to start a thread on the list about recommendations we could make to the HGF planning committee
  • Discussion of chair election process
    • Working Group Process: Working Group Process 
    • SIG process for reference SIG Process - Launch & Operations
    • Action item: We propose that when we are ready to start the process, Dan can call for nominations on the group's list.  If there is more than one nomination we would then set up a vote
