Re: [diversity] Fw: Question about the Diversity Task Force
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. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair

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.
Met vriendelijke groet, Karla

Hi Mirjam et al, Thank you for clarifying. Does membership in the mailing list mean that one is involved in the process to "review the scope and charter of the RIPE Diversity TF"? When and where and with whom is this to take place?

Hi Karla, I am currently looking at the list of achievements, open actions and any next steps with the original Task Force members. However, this mailing list is indeed meant to discuss any topics related to diversity and inclusion in the RIPE community. So, any input provided here is of course welcome.
