Bernard Turcotte Staff Support:Please remember to mute you microphone if not speaking
Niels ten Oever:Do we have a rough background paper?
Niels ten Oever:because we should learn from other diversity policies
Niels ten Oever:we can also ask for input from other fora that have been working on this
Niels ten Oever:and what are we looking for in terms of scope? Diversity of staff, ICANN community, meetings? all of it?
Niels ten Oever:Maybe good to understand what we mean with diversity
Niels ten Oever:and what we are trying to achieve
Niels ten Oever:The presentation and research were very useful, but good to understand where we want to go. And what we use as indicators
Lito Ibarra:Is there also historical data about how diversity in ICANN has chamged thru time?
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):agree Jule... we need that foundation to build upon
Sonigitu Ekpe:+1 to Julie comments on defining diversity.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):So true Julie I tried to raise the matter of different "needs" in my lightening talk
Lousewies van der Laan:Historical overview would also allow us to see trends - are more women attaining leadership positions? isthe ICANN community becoming less ANglo-Saxon?
FIONA ASONGA:Yes Cheryl you did
Niels ten Oever:I think there are quite some academics that could provide us with papers
Niels ten Oever:so we could edicate ourselves
Niels ten Oever:+1 having everyone define their own requirements will be messy
Niels ten Oever:and will mess up indicators
Niels ten Oever:One could think of geographic, gender, orientation, age, minorities, time involved, education, expertise, etc
Lousewies van der Laan:you mean political or sexual orientation?
Lousewies van der Laan:or soemthinhg else?
Tijani BEN JEMAA:language and culture diversity are key
Niels ten Oever:I was thinking of sexual orientation
Lousewies van der Laan:I think its key to have an atnmosphere that is open and inclusive, so that all minorities, including sexual ones feel welcome
Niels ten Oever:+1
Niels ten Oever:But how to measure that? Participation, right?
Lousewies van der Laan:but, its not necesarily needed to have membrs of the LGBT community in every leadership position.
Niels ten Oever:Depends on what we set as our objective
Lousewies van der Laan:Also, to some people thats a deeply private matter.
Carolina Aguerre:Hi Everyone, I'm sorry I could only join a few minutes ago. I look forward working with this team. I particularly agree that working and refining the issue of diversity in organizational settings is a very important baseline to move forward.
Niels ten Oever:There are different ways of measuring diversity, other than questionaires.
Niels ten Oever:I agree that self reporting should not be our only indicator on LGBTQI diversity
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):absolutly ley for us in ICANN IMO dhould be *inclusiveness, opportunity to participation (here I mean both minimal barriers and faciitation, and if course recognition of our desireed 'diversity objectives* for our componenet parts of ICANN and as a whole...
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):not so much *complex* but 'time consuming'
Carolina Aguerre:re Fiona / Rafik I think this timeline is feasible
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):so onger term
Carolina Aguerre:+1 Rafik
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):e may need to identify our "stages of work"
FIONA ASONGA:Great idea cheryl
