As the originating VP I will state that the ComDev PMC was never setup to address D&I directly. It was set up to be a "welcome mat" for new people to the ASF. Predominently it was about running Google Summer of Code. The resolution was broader than this to allow an appropriate growth in scope. This can, arguably, include D&I.
However, the assumption that it *must* reside here is nonsense. TAC isn't here, Conferences isn't here. Incubator isn't here. A case can certainly be made, but as I argue elsethread, there are reasons why IMHO it shouldn't be here (D&I requires a focused and detail oriented approach with protection from the drip-drip-drip of unconcious bias).
