In my NomCom Chair report at IETF 109, I specifically highlighted the big difference in "time zone" / geographic diversity that was made obvious to me by the time zone info Calendly gave me when nominees scheduled their interviews vs. available statistics regarding current-address-continent of meeting attendees. > > IIRC, all the nominees were WG Chairs. This is generally considered an intermediary step towards the NomCom-appointed leadership positions. I strongly suspect (but don't feel incented to get real statistics) that the nominee pool diversity reasonably resembled WG Chair diversity, but that WG Chair diversity does not reflect attendee diversity. It may be useful to focus on how to increase WG Chair diversity. e.g.: Have two/three chairs per wg. On of them is a "junior chair" that is being introduce to the role. Eventually the junior chair becomes one of the experienced chairs, and you have an empty set for a junior chair again. Or when they junior chair has become experienced, he leaves, and a new junior chair takes the seat? > Another part of this, though, is the scarcity of open WG Chair positions. People mentioned that they don't want people hanging out in AD and IAB positions for many terms. But what about long-standing WGs where all the Chairs have been there for 10 or more years? Might it be useful to encourage a little more rotation of WG Chair positions? FWIW, I proposed exactly that ~5 years ago, on the "difersity" list (https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/diversity/p9-JnoVuuCgJdmn_hEtxgxdLpaE/) ---- cut here ---- Ones suggestion: Rotate chairs, as you rotate ADs. Have one experienced chair, and say two fresh chairs. Eventually one of the "fresh" chairs becomes the experienced one, and you keep refreshing them. That way, each chair will have IETF management experience, and as a result you get more possible candidates for running as ADs. And obviously, don't just rotate the same set of folks over different chairs. The goal should be to increase the opportunity window for all folks. ---- cut here ---- Thanks, -- Fernando Gont SI6 Networks e-mail: fgont@si6networks.com PGP Fingerprint: 6666 31C6 D484 63B2 8FB1 E3C4 AE25 0D55 1D4E 7492
