we do not need measurements to know the ietf is embarrassingly
non-diverse.  it is derived from and embedded in an embarrassingly
non-diverse culture.

we need to do what we can to remedy this.  progress not perfection is
our goal.

measurement may be useful to see if we are having effect and/or what
things have effect (meeting locales, size of cookies, ...).

we should be asking the minorities and those struggling to particiate
what we can do to help.

Nicely said Randy. --dmm

Agreed - without consulting a weatherman, we've been having a discussion (among 
a rather un-diverse group of participants) about where we are, as opposed to 
asking the questions Randy suggests.
