Diversity is an Accountability issue, is it not? You, the Community, have approved the CCWG Accountability's Work Stream 1 recommendation and can participate in the Work Stream 2 deliberations, where I think diversity is being discussed.
I do not agree that race should be a consideration. el On 2016-08-31 14:05, Walubengo J wrote:
@Mike, As an academic, I might be suffering the same illusion as Paulos :-), I think what he was saying is that the current board Board of Directors - ICANN <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/board-of-directors> Board of Directors - ICANN <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/board-of-directors> Joined by the new nominees @ ICANN 2016 Nominating Committee Announces Selections - ICANN <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-08-29-en> ICANN 2016 Nominating Committee Announces Selections - ICANN <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-08-29-en> Is not diverse (should I dare say black?) enough? My academic training seems to agree with this observation. I remember my interest in ICANN was actually provoked by the days when Alice, Katim et al were on the board. Without doubting the capability of the incoming members, it is important that Nomcom takes the issue racial diversity alot more seriously. After all, that is WHY ICANN is trying to be as 'international' as it can get. Why not begin at the top? walu.
