Dear all,

 

As proposed during our last Diversity Sub-group Meeting of May 18, please see hereafter, for discussion, a few proposals for the draft WS2 Diversity report:

 

1.       Justification of the importance of Diversity for ICANN – As Dalida gently noted, the importance of Diversity is already provided for in the Executive Summary, but I believe that it would useful to re-introduce the same justification and idea in the Scope, as an introduction to the main text : 1. “Diversity within ICANN is important in ensuring a comprehensive representation of the global Internet community; stakeholders, interest groups and staff and for assuring that ICANN has the right range of perspectives in skills and experience.” Continuing with the existing text:  “In the recommendation …”

 

2.       Support of Diversity strategy by the CEO – Recommendation 5 proposes the creation of an Office of Diversity, but its role seems to be limited to Measuring Diversity (at it is classified in this Chapter only). When it comes to the Supporting and Promoting Diversity Chapter, it is paramount that Diversity is supported and sponsored at the highest level, i.e. by the CEO.

 

This idea could be introduced in Recommendation 7: The ICANN Community should engage in a bottom-up process to develop a long term strategy for the promotion of diversity in both participation and leadership. Add: The Diversity strategy should be ensured by the CEO.

 

3.       Specific targets for diversity – It may be appropriate to set some specific objectives for diversity, in particular if certain SO/AC/groups consider this reasonable. At least, this idea should be proposed, in order to launch discussions.  

 

This idea could be added in Recommendation 9 as follows: “Each SO/AC/group within ICANN should identify goals or aspirations for improving and promoting diversity in both participation and leadership.”  Add: In addition, specific targets should be recommended where appropriate.

 

I hope this will be helpful; kindest regards to all and an excellent weekend !
