I agree with Jimson's draft and Marilyns edits, including adding the initial BC response as background document. Regarding the recommendations for staff support in compiling diversity reports probably ICANN could appoint a specific person to be in charge of the coordination (a kind of Diversity Officer)? If I think of something else I will add even if we have opened it up to the membership. KInd Regards, Waudo On Tue, Dec 5, 2017, at 12:08 AM, Marilyn Cade wrote:
WITH APOLOGIES, IF I LEFT ANYONE OFF WHO VOLUNTEERED TO COMMENT:
Dear BC colleagues Thanks for Jimson for kicking off comments, and to Steve for also providing the link to the initial BC comments, which I think are still quite relevant.>
I worked from Jimson's initial comments, and provided some additional comments. I haven't seen comments from other BC volunteers, but apologize if I missed any such comments.> I also include [with thanks to Steve for the reminder] the initial response of the BC, which many of us contributed to, at that time here as a link, and suggest we may want to add it as a background comment:> BC response to CCWG-Accountabillity WS2 Questions on Diversity[1]
*As Steve has noted,* *we are running late on this submission. *
My comments added to Jimson's key points do the following: first, endorse and support the recommendations, and then:> -note that ICANN will need to be pragmatic about its commitment to translation and interpretation, but may need to do> more when translation is about the IANA functions. -noting that the BC does a lot already but that human and financial resources are limitations to making information available in all UN official languages/and beyond.> -diversity is also about enabling participation from different sub regions/regions in events that ICANN organizes, or that are related to ICANN, where ICANN is participating>
All BC member comments are welcomed, of course, and with apologies, as a volunteer to drafting,if you can provide them within the next 24 hours, we will still be late, but we can then send out to all BC members.> I suspect we all are just overwhelmed with other work, but special thanks again to Steve and and Jimson.>
