J. Hellenthal, thank you for your reply. I am not in marketing. I represent a team of talented network engineers, some of which are persons of color and under-represented minorities. I believe we, as a community, can do better to effect change, and hold each other accountable to this end. It is a worthy discussion for NANOG to have, particularly as an industry that has struggled in the areas of diversity and inclusion.
This may be a great starting point for you on your journey: https://www.nanog.org/stories/our-commitment-diversity-and-inclusion/ https://www.nanog.org/about/code-conduct/ To the OP - I express my appreciation for acknowledging and adjusting the language used in your survey.
