FEEDBACK on DIVERSITY FROM CCWG-A WS2 F2F MEETING AT ICANN58
by Julie Hammer Aug. 9, 2017

Aug. 9, 2017

Hi Everyone, In the interests of updating our Diversity Questionnaire as soon as possible, I have been through the recording of the session on Friday 10th March and made the following notes. Please let me know if you do not think I have accurately captured the feedback provided during the Plenary. 1. The introduction to the Questionnaire should make it more explicit that the list of Diversity elements stated is not exhaustive. 2. The term “SO/AC/group” should be clarified and it should be stated more specifically who are the target groups for this Questionnaire. 3. In the list of diversity elements, “Skills” should remain but should be listed as “Diversity of Skills” to avoid confusion. 4. In the list of diversity elements, “Physical Ability” is ambiguous and should be listed as “Disability”. 5. In Q4, the concept of being "proportionally represented within your SO/AC/group and its leadership” is neither clear nor necessarily useful. “Members" of a group/constituency may or may not participate, and of those who do participate, it is the ones who are actively engaged that are most likely to be those who are appointed to leadership positions. This question could create a great deal of confusion. 6. Q1-3 are asking for current information about diversity; Q4-6 are more aspirational. They are asking about ways to promote diversity. The questions should be amended as follows: - Q4 should focus on asking about ways to promote diversity in membership and leadership - Q5 should ask about educational or informational initiative to promote diversity awareness - Q6 should focus on asking about policies/practices which promote diversity I would also like to add one further suggestion of my own. In our original list of questions, we had one which asked "Does your SO/AC/group have any formal policies and procedures relating to diversity? If so, please provide details of these.” as well as "Does your SO/AC/group have any informal practices relating to diversity? If so, please provide details of these.” We seem to have retained the latter question but not the former. I do think it would be useful to ask about both formal and informal, but I am conscious that we don’t want to increase the number of questions so I have merged both of these aspects in the new Q6. Taking the above feedback into account, I have attempted to incorporate all these points into an updated Questionnaire which is attached for your review. I realise that the Diversity Sub-Group has not necessarily collectively agreed with all these recommendations, but if any of the suggestions we received are not agreed, then we can change the Questionnaire accordingly. I have not used “track changes” as I felt the list above adequately details the changes that have been made. Cheers, Julie

Diversity relevance on WS2 Diversity Draft Report
by Renata Aquino Ribeiro June 1, 2017

June 1, 2017

Hi Marie I've added your comments to the doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l2cGcx8nNvYSg_ZMUVnoC2t0VKb4ATQVTXxcxYI… I've specifically added point 1 on the text as a suggestion as I agree w/ making it clear the relevance of diversity in the scope However I change the word "right range" for "extensive range" as we've discussed there may be diversity elements this effort does not cover, yet. However, I'll have to state I'm unsure about your points 2 and 3 Point 2 - CEO should ensure diversity ICANN may have a CEO who doesn't identify w/ the theme (not a specific comment to any CEO that is or ever was or will be) and who may be an advocate for other important efforts in the organization. This doesn't mean it would be someone against diversity but certainly not an advocate to this. How can we ask for this if there's no way to make sure the CEO is an advocate for diversity? Point 3 - Specific targets This keeps coming and going as an idea and I agree it should be in the text but not sure if here and in this form. I'm starting to think this has to phrased clearly, almost mathematically Ensure all regions - check 5 continents - in all groups Certify there's an attempt to gender balance in leadership positions - at least 1/3 I know however situations differ and doing the math may cause a huge backlash on efforts so this would need to be better thought according to bylaws and all Best, Renata On Fri, May 19, 2017 at 12:52 PM, <marienoemie.marques(a)orange.com> wrote: > 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).
