Hello all,

In light of the recent spate of discussions on Transparency and Diversity,
can I please ask for the following items to be added to the top of the
agenda for the March F2F meeting? This is to ensure that these critical
items are not missed due to a lack of time.

ITEMS TO ADD TO THE AGENDA

Transparency


   1.

   Set usage rules for sending email to the confidential Board list
   2.

   Ensure community feedback in the decision making process for those rules
   3.

   Regular reports from the transparency committee



Diversity & Inclusion


   1.

   Establishment of a diversity committee, with a remit to ensure diversity
   at the board, Foundation staff and project contributor levels
   2.

   Regular reports on diversity released bi-annually
   3.

   Expert review of the bylaws for other discriminatory content
   1.

      Extend Travel Support for individual directors. Prohibitively
      expensive for unsponsored individual directors. Only one trip presently
      with 4 x F2F per annum
      2.

      (example 2 - Affiliation criteria is non inclusive. Proposal to
      change $ amount to a % of the income earned)
      4.

   The foundation must have a published diversity and inclusion policy that
   covers the Foundation employees AND its actions with respect to the
   community. The board needs to set the direction for the Foundation to
   follow and the Foundation executive should have these goals included in
   their performance criteria.


regards,

Kavit
