[Chapter-delegates] On Board Diversity

[John Levine]

It appears that Tom Fredrik Blenning via Chapter-delegates <bfg at isoc.no> said:
>Today they read "Establish selection criteria for prospective candidates
>for nomination.", adding a subpoint below reading something like: "The
>selection criteria shall aim to ensure that the board is composed of
>members who together holds the necessary skills and perspectives deemed
>necessary to fulfill the foundations charter."

While that wouldn't hurt, I don't see the point.

I can say from experience that recent nominations committees are very
aware of diversity issues and consider them when selecting a slate.
If you look at the slates they have nominated in recent years, that
should be self-evident.

I do wish that someone would engage with my question about the 2020
election, though. What is the value of presenting a slate of diverse
candidates if the voters don't want to vote for them?

R's,
