Thanks Myrle for re-organizing the proposal and for adding all the folks who expressed interest. As part of the discussion we had around this, I decided to also update the following paragraph:
" WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to appoint a Committee responsible for diversity and inclusion matters, including but not limited to strategic planning and management of risks related to matters of diversity and inclusion." to the following one: "WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to appoint a Committee responsible for diversity and inclusion matters, including but not limited to strategic planning, providing a framework and tools to support diversity and inclusion initiatives and advising communities on matters related to diversity and inclusion." I updated the term "risk management" to be more specific. Thank you. <Updated Request> WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to appoint a Committee responsible for diversity and inclusion matters, including but not limited to strategic planning, providing a framework and tools to support diversity and inclusion initiatives and advising communities on matters related to diversity and inclusion.
