Hey all, I've added this to the board agenda. Those with access can find it here: https://whimsy.apache.org/board/agenda/2019-05-15/Establish-Diversity-and-Inclusion-Committee
For those who don't have access, the text I submitted is below. But first a summary of changes from the original: * I added all the people who volunteered to the initial committee. * I reordered the text to be more consistent with existing templates (I did not rewrite or change any texts). * I did *not* include anyone who does not currently have an iCLA on flie (Austin and Aizhamal). * I did *not* include anyone who didn't clearly state they wanted to be added (Patricia) The text I've submitted can still be changed. For example Austin, Aizhamal, and Patricia can still be added to the initial group. But if we're going to do so we should do it soon. The board meeting is next week and people should be given the time to read the resolution. Best Regards, Myrle Krantz proud to be here WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to appoint a Committee responsible for diversity and inclusion matters, including but not limited to strategic planning and management of risks related to matters of diversity and inclusion.
