Poor wording on my n party. Thanks for calling me out on that. I didn't mean to tell people what to work on. That indeed would be inappropriate.
I merely meant to point out that I believe the current focus appears wasteful. The policy doesn't need to be changed in order to empower outreachy interns to work on ASF projects. Therefore a focus on the policy is unnecessary. If some folks feel the policy needs to be changed for other reasons then due go fight that fight. Make it clear that's your intent and I'll wait for a prepackaged to land on board@. If, like me, people want to work on addressing diversity rather than this specific policy then I'm here to help. That is, my intention is to say what *I* want to work on and to invite people to switch focus.

I am not at all comfortable with "I would rather people focused on X" being shared on this list. the people doing the work decide
