I too had sent my apologies as being unable to attend the meeting on July 12th.
I want to note my complete agreement with what Cheryl has posted on list here. And I also look forward to the meeting on August 4th.

Melissa, I sent through my apologies via Devon, but I do appreciate the review and recording/transcript of the meeting which I have now listened to and re-read.
From that and in response to your summary as follows from the settings Key outcomes I am wishing to note my specific support for the following points agreed upon by the majority on the call...
CCG members on the call agreed that the 7 elements of diversity detailed in the WS2 Final Report are a shared foundation of diversity within the ICANN community. <CLO> AGREED
Individual community groups are empowered to expand upon these areas of common understanding as best fits the needs of their respective communities. <CLO> AGREE this is an important point IMO
Those on the call further agreed that the ICANN community seeks to ensure there are no impediments to participation within the ICANN community based on the diversity elements of gender, age, and disability. <CLO> AGREED ABSOLUTELY!
Here you will find the relevant proposed language: <CLO> minor edit proposed in [...] below
The ICANN community strives to ensure that there are no impediments or discrimination towards [this should be 'toward' I think] existing or potential community members based on the diversity elements of gender, age, and disability.
I look forward to our next call on Aug 4.

Thank you all for your participation in the 12 July CCG call. The session recording can be found here:
Contributions made on the call and on the list have demonstrated that CCG participants agree that the 7 elements of diversity detailed in the WS2 Final Report encapsulate a shared foundational understanding of diversity. While subsequent conversations are likely necessary to ensure all elements are clear, sufficiently meaningful, and can be implemented in each community as they stand, the best use of group time and consultant efforts might be found focusing on how individual groups navigate implementation of elements in various situations.
ACTION ITEMS
CCG members on the call agreed that the 7 elements of diversity detailed in the WS2 Final Report are a shared foundation of diversity within the ICANN community. Individual community groups are empowered to expand upon these areas of common understanding as best fits the needs of their respective communities. Those on the call further agreed that the ICANN community seeks to ensure there are no impediments to participation within the ICANN community based on the diversity elements of gender, age, and disability. Here you will find the relevant proposed language:
The ICANN community strives to ensure that there are no impediments or discrimination towards existing or potential community members based on the diversity elements of gender, age, and disability.
While discussing how to best utilize the DEI consulting team, community members requested more information. Attached you will find biographies and other information about Advisory83.
NEXT STEPS
In preparation for our next call, 4 August at 20:00 UTC, we ask you are prepared to share feedback on the following:
- The proposed no impediment language regarding age, gender, and disability detailed above.
- Any questions or clarification regarding the remaining 4 elements of diversity (geographic/regional representation, language, diverse skills, and SG/C) as a foundation of common understanding, noting that the SG/C element may not be applicable across the entire community. These elements are discussed in more detail in WS2 Annex 1:
Some on the 12 July call discussed how elements of diversity may have varying levels of importance in different contexts, situations, and groups and we hope to move the CCG into this application work.
Accordingly, we propose the 4 August call focus on ensuring that each of the 7 elements are a sufficient basis of common understanding for individual groups to apply within their respective communities and, time allowing, begin discussion around application of diversity elements to community work. We anticipate this will inform where the consulting team can best support your efforts.
PROPOSED AGENDA - 4 AUGUST
- Welcome
- Discussion regarding proposed language for approaching age, gender, and disability.
- Discussion regarding clarification and questions about the other four elements - geographic/regional representation, language, diverse skills, and SG/C - as a shared foundation to diversity within ICANN.
- Org team to share a tool mapping diversity requirements in individual group operating procedure documents.
We welcome your feedback on this approach and, as always, please let us know if we can assist in any other way.
All the best,
Melissa (on behalf of the org CCG support team)
