Hallo Renata and All Sorry I missed the call. Limited to level of representation I thought is simple English for limited to those who are present/ available / involved. Therefore in all those areas where it is mentioned as such it is limited to the level of representative available. In the entire new section 12 we are making observations from the responses. It what has been reported to us. We discuss those observations in the subsequent sections and provide recommendations. I hope that provides you with some clarity on how the report is structured.

Draft report https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SvqOdsuAxpbn-W4sw5C7QQeh0IJu6MjSNbZdcC9F... Inputs https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1knHluhdwkxYvD8yfD4y1Gtgt-Ejd8AR8sqKq... Questions Item 12.5 on - “[Age diversity/youth] limited to the level of representation” My comment was that I found this expression confusing. Does this means that no members were found to be from distinct age diversity (only members from 40yo on exist…)… The expression “limited to the level of representation” continues on in other items. So maybe it would be clearer something like “diversity of this element is still incipient” or “can be improved”… Item 12.7 – Skills diversity as 1st priority by the board and absent from any other input by SO/ACs. This contrast is a bit surprising. Perhaps deserves some discussion on what “skills” is as seen by board, maybe ask to send a follow up explanation. In 12.9 the additional elements of diversity could probably be what the SO/ACs understand as skills or characteristics of a diverse leadership. Recommendations section Added a recommendation 10 Create specific programs to address priority gaps or elements which are lacking in the diverse composition of an SO/AC (example: If an SO/AC only has no/little youth members, to create an specific initiative to address the gap) Main concern/impression from general reading of inputs There is willingnes to create diversity in the ICANN community but initiatives are comments on the importance of them do not really appear to convince. It could be interpreted that the community feels obligated to strive for diversity but it is not yet committed. Hence, the need to see as well what is mainly lacking as elements of diversity and address it in priority order.
