Dalila Rahmoumi - diversity must something that does more than simply collect data - it must put forward proposals for increasing diversity. Report also notes that it will only be done if the funds should be there - we should not get into administrative issues - we need to focus on the 3 main points - collect, strategies
Julie Hammer - my personal view is we should focus more on the functions required vs actually proposing an actual structure. The organization should be the one to decide how to implement. Uncertain I support proposing an office of diversity.
Rafik Dmak - functions first is good. Do we need to set actual numerical goals vs just being aspirational? Just ideas at this point
Dalila Rahmoumi - Agree what is important is the functions but an Office is for providing a focal point that is cross community unit.
Rafik Damak - What is important at this point is to be clear as to WHAT we want and WHY we want it. Going into implementation we should remain high level. Let’s see if we can find a middle way on this. Advise everyone to review the document and comment. Drafting team will focus on the recommendations and continue its work. We will need to have a work plan if we want to deliver a report for June.
Rafik Damak – I will send a reminder to everyone to read the document and compile an issue list. Will resume the work of the drafting team.
