Hi Martin, I'm not sure this works in all cases. Imagine the case where one of the original nine provides the information that they are gender fluid, even though they have commonly presented as male in IETF contexts. If that participant provides this data to the chair in private, the gender diversity requirement will be met. But the announcement that it has been met will bring additional attention to the gender identities of all those in the original set (because the community will not have expected it to have been met based on their incomplete understanding of the situation). That scrutiny will hit people who might have chosen PNTS and who might not be okay with this scrutiny because of their own gender identities. regards, Ted Hardie On Sat, Nov 25, 2023, at 16:24, Mark Nottingham wrote: > > However, I am extremely wary of creating a situation where people's > > gender identity is necessarily declared and scrutinised in public as > > part of our process -- even with a 'prefer not to say' option. > > I have a suggestion that hopefully does a better job of balancing these > concerns. > > The NomCom chair is entrusted with a lot of responsibility.
