<DIV>Part of me absolutely supports any moves that support diversity.
At one point in my life, I headed up the Equal Opportunity Unit in the Aust.
Broadcasting Corporation so diversity was my job. </DIV>
<DIV>Putting that aside, I have serious doubts about the concept in this
context. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If they talking about just ICANN staff, there is already an ICANN HR
function that would (or should) be charged with addressing the
issue. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If they talking about the various organisations that attend the
SOs/ACs? I have even more concern. Just for starters, it is up to each
SO/AC - and then individual members within each SO/AC as to who
participates. Is ICANN seriously going to tell GAC members that some of them
must send more women representatives/more Asian members/more members from
non-English speaking backgrounds? And who is going to tell each
registry/registrar whom they can send to represent them! </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If the idea is to have diversity in the make-up of ICANN committees, I
would hope the first basis for selection is qualifications for the
task.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In short, I support Alan’s comments. If the concept is diversity
WITHIN ICANN staff, it is covered by HR. Otherwise, I have real doubts
about the concept, other than - at best -it could be just a score card.

<DIV>I would like to call your attention to this paper that was just
circulated by the CCWG-Accountability WS2 on Diversity.<BR><BR>The ALAC
was silent on the question of an Office of Diversity (OOD) that was
mentioned in the draft recommendations (see <A
href="https://community.icann.org/x/Z5tEB"
target=_blank>https://community.icann.org/x/<WBR>Z5tEB</A>)<BR><BR>As
important as diversity is, I find it troublesome that ICANN might be
dedicating more bureaucracy to it. As I noted in my recent comments on the
Specific Reviews Operating Standards (<A
href="https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-reviews-standards-17oct17/2018q1/000008.html"
target=_blank>
https://mm.icann.org/<WBR>pipermail/comments-reviews-<WBR>standards-17oct17/2018q1/<WBR>000008.html</A>
), I find that for the best of reasons, ICANN is building more and more
complex process, rules and bureaucracy. At a time when it is clear we are
going to have increasing budget constraint, this must be controlled. If we
consider issues such as this as sacred , then we will see more and more
other more discretionary budgets cut (and I am predicting that if we don't
change our philosophy, budget issues will get MUCH
worse).<BR><BR>According to the original recommendations document (<A
href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-acct-ws2-draft-recs-diversity-26oct17-en.pdf"
target=_blank>
https://www.icann.org/en/<WBR>system/files/files/ccwg-acct-<WBR>ws2-draft-recs-diversity-<WBR>26oct17-en.pdf</A>
): The role of this office would be to independently support, record and
keep track of issues including complaints from the community on diversity
issues within the organization.<BR><BR>I presume that by "organization"
the document means all of ICANN (ICANN Organization as the staff are now
known, the volunteer community and the Board). For ICANN Organization, I
see this as falling directly under Human Resources and the Complaints
Officer. For the volunteer part of ICANN, and the Board, I think it quite
reasonable to keep records but that does not warrant a staffed office.
Selection of volunteers is not done centrally, and complaints presumably
should go to the Ombudsman.<BR><BR>Should the ALAC issue a further
statement on this? And if so, what are your
views?<BR><BR>Alan<BR><BR><BR>

Diversity sub-group presented a report for public comments that
presented diversity at ICANN identified by a number of elements by which
diversity may be characterized, measured and reported. The report was
informed by feedback from ICANN Supporting Organization(SO)/Advisory
Committee (AC)/groups through a Diversity Questionnaire. In the report
the Sub-group proposes a number of recommendations by which ICANN may
define, measure, report, support and promote diversity. It also
indicated that there was a lack of consensus on the establishment on an
office of diversity and sought to receive public comments on the
position of the office of diversity. <BR><BR> <BR><BR><B>Summary of
