Hi Marie I've added your comments to the doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l2cGcx8nNvYSg_ZMUVnoC2t0VKb4ATQVTXxcxYIL... 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@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). When it comes to the *Supporting and Promoting Diversity *Chapter, it is paramount that Diversity is supported and sponsored at the highest level, i.e. by the CEO.
This idea could be introduced in *Recommendation 7*: The ICANN Community should engage in a bottom-up process to develop a long term strategy for the promotion of diversity in both participation and leadership. Add: *The Diversity strategy should be ensured by the CEO.*
3. *Specific targets for diversity* – It may be appropriate to set some specific objectives for diversity, in particular if certain SO/AC/groups consider this reasonable. At least, this idea should be proposed, in order to launch discussions.
This idea could be added in *Recommendation 9* as follows: “Each SO/AC/group within ICANN should identify goals or aspirations for improving and promoting diversity in both participation and leadership.” Add: *In addition, specific targets should be recommended where appropriate*.
I hope this will be helpful; kindest regards to all and an excellent weekend !
Marie-Noémie
