It's just that the comdev PMC is responsible for oversight and
reporting on those new initiatives, and it keeps things simple for
now.
That is exactly what troubles me about making the new initiative part of
ComDev.
There seems to me to be a risk of going back to the "Do we have a
problem? Even if we have a problem do we really need to do anything
about it?" stage every time the group tries to do anything, including
reporting progress to the board, and requesting resources from the board.
At best, comdev PMC oversight and reporting would be mostly harmless.
They would just pass through whatever the group would have sent directly
to the board, only costing time. At worst, it could make the current
initiative go the way of all previous diversity efforts, by discouraging
and sapping the energy of the initiative's leadership.
The risk of anything other than direct access to the board seems too high.
[I have not attempted to join the initiative only because I do not have
any expertise in the area of solutions. I have been a woman in
computing, in various ways, for over 50 years. I want the current
initiative to have the best possible chance of making a difference.]
