Hello Mirjam
I join Karla in her choice of topics and would add:

1- geographical diversity

2- What are we doing to ensure young blood into the Ripe working groups? 

As a speaker, i recommend that you, the RIPE chair would share your views and ask for support from community to reach your vision. As a woman, was it harder or did it take longer for you to reach leadership position?

My 2 cents
Salam

Hi Mirjam,

It's been a while, and although I have withdrawn from a number of activities to focus on career and my love, the theatre, as well as supporting some Ukrainian techies and indy journalist, I have not lost sight nor concern of Diversity issues. 

Hope this finds you and yours happy and well.

I'd like to see addressed, topics of aging; and of course women in tech.

I can speak.  How else can I help?

I also know of a great speaker, Raisa Ghazi of High Tech tea, and most recently I heard her at the Women in Tech Regatta in Amsterdam.  https://www.raisaghazi.com/

With kind regards,
Met vriendelijke groet,
Karla
