I'm very much a reader/lurker on this list, so I don't know much about the bigger structures.

I'm very much in favor of a statement along these lines.

My question is about the teeth to it. When we look to who it will come from, do they have the ability to kick offenders off the list, or some other mechanism of response? Action seems to be needed now, and so in addition to a statement, I'd like to see behavior contrary to the statement having visible consequences. I think that'd add significance to whatever statement appears.

So can we see the samples - LITA's and NMRT's? And I'm also wondering who

C4L's "organization" being such that it is.

believe a statement will make clear what otherwise might be an unknown for

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Post-election statement affirming diversity from
Code4Lib?

Hi Code4Libbers,

What do you think about issuing a post-election statement on diversity
basically affirming that we stand by it?

If that _IS_ the majority opinion in Code4Lib which I am _POSITIVE_ that
it is, then I want to hear it and I think others may well!

I just drafted one for LITA (to be out tomorrow hopefully). So I have some
wordings that I can offer as a starting point.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Bohyun
