Jari, Peter
Thanks for the article. It is really welcomed to see that "diversity"
is something that the IETF is taking really seriously.
Now, something general related to the blog. Perhaps it would be good to
enable comments, isn't it?
I think that it would be good to interact there instead of here. One of
the values of this list is to have important topics, In general
blog-comments do not reach that level of importance, although it is
important to comment about the topic somewhere.
Thanks,
as

We have discussed diversity at the IETF at length. Yesterday, Pete Resnick
and I wrote an article about what we think the goal for the IETF should be,
as well as listing some of the early activities that we have taken at the
IETF. Our goal is making the IETF more inclusive for everyone who needs to be
working on Internet standards. We are at the beginning, however, and a lot of
work remains ahead. Here's the article:

Also, I wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow in the Administrative
Plenary, Kathleen Moriarty and Suresh Krishnan will be talking about what
they have uncovered so far in their efforts in the diversity design team. I'm
looking very much forward to their report. Their efforts will help us
understand where we have room to improve - often by much :-) - and what kinds
of actions we can take to improve our inclusiveness.
