Hi all,
here is an update:
- there was a suggestion from Shane to modify the text to focus on "diversity" rather then "diversities" , and move review to RIPE 79.
- there was a suggestion form Sasha to add this text:
"removing barriers for participation, particularly those that disproportionally affect underrepresented and marginalised groups in the community, encourage and support their participation and inclusion,'
- new tasks: - after the TF is approved by RIPE Chair - activate the web page: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/ripe-diversity-task-force - add a link to TF on this web page: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf
New version of the text:
Introduction
The RIPE Diversity Task Force was formed in May 2017 at RIPE 74 in Madrid.
RIPE 74 in Budapest.
The goal of the task force is to increase diversity in the RIPE community by various methods, for example by removing barriers for participation, particularly those that disproportionally affect underrepresented and marginalised groups in the community; and by encouraging and supporting their participation and inclusion.
I really like this.
Various types of diversity (gender diversity, race diversity, age diversity, socioeconomic diversity, regional diversity...) help to ensure larger variety of expertise and experiences available to the RIPE community to achieve its goals of "technical coordination necessary to enable the operation of the Internet."
The repetition of the word "diversity" grates on my prose composition nerves, but if others are ok with it, I'm not going to argue. :)
Draft scope
The RIPE Diversity Task Force agrees to:
- Review and report on the current state of RIPE Meeting diversity - Identify key areas of action and delegate to the appropriate people (either community volunteers or the RIPE NCC) - Evaluate on the efficacy of the actions taken - Report progress on action points via RIPE web sites, the RIPE Diversity mailing list and RIPE Meetings - Work with the RIPE NCC to gather diversity metrics for benchmarking purposes
NEW: - Hold meetings that are open to everyone - Maintain a work plan / list of actions ^^^ do we want to add this?? for transparency / accountability reasons
I think we should say this, yes. Our BoF (and I think I'm still the only candidate for moderator?) in Dubai is one of these meetings. We're not saying all our meetings are open to everyone, but I have no problem with open meetings as long as everyone is respectful and constructive. I think we should (and are) maintain that work plan.
Timeline
Although "increasing diversities" is a continuing activity, the effectiveness of the TF will be evaluated during at RIPE 79, to ascertain it is still serving its purpose.
Argh, I do think I prefer "increasing diversity" because it makes more sense to me, sorry. I think pushing this out to 79 is sensible. Gives us two years.
More comments?

Dear all,
after the attempt to discuss the charter through Etherpad, here is the new approach: let's do it on the mailing list.
It's a mini-project, and here is the description.
Please do your part.
Thanks, Vesna
==========
Goal: formulating charter (web page!) of the RIPE Diversity Task Force
(Inverse) Timeline: - December: have the charter accepted / approved by RIPE community (how?) - November: include any suggested modifications - present draft charter during TF report @ RIPE75 - make a web-page & send to RIPE list on 6. October (Friday) - finalize draft charter before 2. October (Monday) - take 3-4 weeks to go through several iterations - re-start the discussion on the mailing list 4. September - discussion started on Etherpad/mailing list in July
Examples: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/ripe-accountability-task-force // https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/bcop
Elements of the web page (charter): - short history (introduction) - short description of the scope & goal & timeline - list of members - a chair-persons, or multiple co-chairs - links
Tasks: - Vesna: send initial email (this) - All: comment on the text for the web page - on the list (also say if you agree, so we can see that there is a consensus) - All: let me know (offlist) if you do NOT want to be listed as "member" (and you were present on one of the TF meetings) - All: let me know (offlist) if you DO want me to add you as a member - Vesna: keep track of time-line & send reminders - Someone: volunteer to be a co-chair (please start a new thread ;-) - co-chairs (or Vesna): keep track of comments; declare a consensus by 2nd October - Vesna: work with RIPE NCC webmaster to make the page - Vesna: email the page to ripe-list (for info / additional comments)

Introduction
The RIPE Diversity Task Force was formed in May 2017 at RIPE 74 in Madrid.
(new) Goal of the TF is increasing diversities in RIPE community.
(new) Various diversities (gender diversity, race diversity, age diversity, socioeconomic diversity, regional diversity...) help to ensure larger variety of expertise and experiences available to the RIPE community to achieve its goals of "technical coordination necessary to enable the operation of the Internet."
The task force will report on diversity/inclusion at RIPE Meetings currently, propose actions to increase diversity and then evaluate and report on the efficacy of the actions taken.
Draft scope
The RIPE Diversity Task Force agrees to:
- Review and report on the current state of RIPE Meeting diversity - Work with the RIPE NCC to gather diversity metrics for benchmarking purposes - Identify key areas of action and delegate to the appropriate people (either community volunteers or the RIPE NCC) - Report progress on action points via RIPE web sites, the RIPE Diversity mailing list and RIPE Meetings
(new) Timeline
Although "increasing diversities" is a continuing activity, the effectiveness of the TF will be evaluated during the period RIPE 81 – RIPE 82 to ascertain it is still serving its purpose.
