[Chapter-delegates] more diversity, was On funding dedicated to chapters

[Veni Markovski]

Thanks, Jason.
I looked at the slides, and indeed slide 6 talks about diversity.
But it relates to the IETF LLC (not sure how many people on the 
chapters' list know what this actually is), while in the chapters' list 
we are talking about diversity on the ISOC Board of Trustees.

It would be good, if there was some commitment from ISOC to adapt some 
of these, from your presentation:

"Improve the diversity of participants & contributors, including based 
on gender, country, professional & educational background, etc. while 
also moving to a friendlier & more inclusive culture that embraces new 
participants."

best,

> Diversity & inclusion are difficult problems and they will not be solved quickly or easily - it takes a long-term commitment. The IETF also cannot solve it alone for the whole tech industry. As well, for the IETF, our community is focusing on a very broad definition of diversity which includes things such as country of residence, working in a developing vs. developed economy, education/work background (e.g. comp sci, human rights, privacy, software dev, etc.), and more.

For example, the IETF presented at the ISOC 2020 AGM (https://www.internetsociety.org/board-of-trustees/meetings/153/) and spoke about this on Slide 6 ofhttps://www.internetsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/10-IETF-LLC-Presentation-to-ISOC-Board-August-2020.pdf.
