AOB Julie Hammer - Concern about costing of the various proposals by the various WS2 sub-groups. Is our recommendation that there be an office of Diversity without considering all the requirements and impacts. My take away, perhaps, what needs to happen without proposing an organizational solution at this time. Renata Aquino Ribeiro - Agree we have to follow process - send out questionnaire gather input and then seriously consider the recommendations. Avri Doria - Agree that organizational change is probably premature at this point. May not be premature to say we need a function in the organization without needing a formal organizational change. Julie Hammer (SSAC): Agree, Avri! Finn Petersen, GAC - DK: agree with avri Julie Hammer (SSAC): Yes, that is what I was trying to say! Renata Aquino Ribeiro: Avri I like that idea of address too but yes discussing its shape later Fiona Asonga - will leave the Diversity Office item in the report but will note that for now that is simply a place holder for the idea. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) 2: my green tick was up for Julie and Avri's innervations, yes Julie Hammer (SSAC): Suggest we describe it functionally, not organizationally, as Avri said. Fiona Asonga - any further items? (none). Actions items present questionnaire at 29 plenary, finalize schedule to end of June ASAP to get interpretation request sent - send a request for participants to join the drafting team - the report will note that the recommendation for a Diversity office is simply a place holder for now.
