Hello all,
Vesna posted an interesting link to an article on the RIPE Labs article about diversity from a while back. Feeling inspired, I decided to look at the numbers a little bit more.
Hi Shane,
Did you analyse what percentage of presentation proposals are accepted from women vs from men?
No, that's a very good point! I don't have access to information about proposals before I started as working group chair, and we have not been tracking that. I can go through our mail archives and figure that out for the past few meetings. It's not a very big data set, but it's a start. Since we have more contact with the submitters than with general meeting attendees, we may also more easily be able to track things like rough age, country where the person is working, sector of the Internet where they work (ISP, educational, or whatever), and so on. I may see if other working group chairs are willing to start tracking this in a more systematic way across multiple working groups. Cheers, -- Shane
