So to me it’s more: if this TF does a great job, as a result we’ll see diversity increased, but that is not the direct goal - to me the direct goal is more removing barriers that prevent diversity, and looking for ways to offset barriers we can’t remove.
I like your way of looking at this :)
May I ask why the TF's goal should not be an actual increase in diversity and instead should just be the removal of (some) barriers? How can we know whether the TF's work addresses the right barriers if the goal is defined by the work being done and not the outcome of the work?
I agree. The goal should not be to have a RIPE community that could in theory be diverse, but rather to have a RIPE community that *is* diverse. Cheers, -- Shane
