ps. A small point to watch for, if there is a focus on a defined list

these. We need to be careful about the distinction.
I have been viewing this as the difference between discriminating
against versus discriminating for. And I am against discrimination,
even that done for the best of intentions.
Active solicitation is all well and good but how do you _ensure_
representation of members from a defined list of groups if your
active solicitation does not result in the favored mix?
