Re: [diversity] Fw: Question about the Diversity Task Force
by Mirjam Kuehne 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hi Karla, One of the initial tasks of the Diversity Task Force was a review of the RIPE Code of Conduct. Once the Code of Conduct Task Force was formed, the Diversity TF took a step back but kept the mailing list active. With a new Code of Conduct in place and the remaining milestones of that TF in sight, we will now review the scope and charter of the RIPE Diversity TF. Having said that, I would like to clarify that a RIPE Task Force will not get directly involved in anything related to RIPE NCC leadership or hiring.

Question about the Diversity Task Force
by Karla Wagner 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

Folks, Does anyone know the status of the Diversity Task Force at RIPE? https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/ripe-diversity-task-force I note that there is a web page; but no current activity. Besides Vesna's excellent postings. I note that the lack of diversity in the RIPE leadership and those who give keynotes and closing talks are exclusively male at SEE10. Interesting that it's the same guy giving both the keynote AND the closing address. I could do SO much better, personally. Women need to be allowed to speak... not only on behalf of support services but as leaders. It was "explained" to me by two members of the executive board (the lone woman on the executive board wasn't present at SEE10, sadly) that there is no diversity problem at RIPE; notwithstanding that the Leadership page is all-male: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/staff/structure If we don't have women at the leadership circle, we are not diverse. And I won't even get into the hiring practices.

Thank you for that tip, Vesna! Sadly the link you provided for the *inar today gives me a not supported error in both firefox and chromium. Same on turning off vpn, please advise. I'd love to come, as I am still looking for a job but finding my communications, teamwork and leadership skills increasingly irrelevant in a society that values those qualities exclusively in men.

Dear all, here are workshops with topics relevant to Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (J.E.D.I. !) Regards, Vesna From: Team CommUNITY <team(a)digitalrights.community> We are happy to announce the sessions and workshops of the inaugural Community Health Village. This year’s theme is Sustainable Networks & Movements, and features diverse mental healthcare practitioners who will share knowledge on how to achieve healthy and sustainable work environments in our communities and spaces. Topics range from conflict resolution to therapy to Mayan healing. The Village was designed based on the findings of our 2020 Community Health Report. /// While this workshop is not part of the village, it's worth mentioning! This is being hosted by our MENA Meetup Group!! @ October 21 | CKS: Even the Finest of Warriors Yara Sallam will discuss her book, Even the Finest Warriors, which deals with issues that have been long ignored because they have been categorized as personal issues: personal health, financial security, psychological health, and more. https://digitalrights.formstack.com/forms/cks52 <https://digitalrights.formstack.com/forms/cks52> // Community Health Village // @ Nov 2 | Understanding & Designing your Mental Health Plan Mathero Nkhalamba will demystify diverse types of healing practices, with an eye towards cultural and religious considerations, and help you understand how to design your own mental health plan. https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village <https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village> @ Nov 9 | Regenerative Activism Explore collective and personal tools that make our activism more effective and sustainable, while ensuring that our orgs and movements reflect the values we are fighting for. https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village <https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village>@ Nov 10 | Imagining Alternative Worlds through Activism Three transdisciplinary designers will take us on a journey to imagine and make concrete a future filled with joy and hope.The workshop is inspired by the work of designer James Auger who coined the term “perpetual bridge” - the space between the world as we want it to be and the world as it is now. https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village <https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village>@ Nov 11 | Mayan Healing Ceremony Nana Marina, a Ajq’iij, or Mayan spiritual guide from Guatemala, will be conducting wisdom and peace for human rights and digital rights defenders.

How to talk about conflicts without escalating through mutual accusations and interpretations? What settings are needed? What about power dynamics and different approaches to conflicts in diverse groups – how can a team create a climate that enables everyone to speak up. https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village <https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village> Please reach out if you have any questions!
