Maybe we disagree on what the term geographic diversity means? To me, a
policy that says "we schedule meetings on three continents because that's
where our participants are" makes it easier for people from diverse
locations to participate, and thus is a policy intended to facilitate
geographic diversity.

If the policy changed so that all meetings were in Amsterdam (say, because
it's easy to reach from both Asia and America, has a better human rights
record than Asian countries and and has better gun control and easier visa
access than the US), that would be an example of a non-diversity policy.
