[IGFmaglist] WS Diversity - Open Questions

[Lynn St.Amour]

Dear Rasha, colleagues,

following the discussion on our last MAG call with respect to the need to better understand the diversity within the WS proposals, some MAG members volunteered to review this and and make additional recommendations.   This is important work and is essential to guiding our discussions at the upcoming MAG face to face meeting.  Is this something the Working Group on Workshop Review and Evaluation Process can take on?

The text from the meeting summary is included here for reference.

"A discussion followed on how best to understand the diversity within the proposals as some felt that focusing on co-organizers was not necessarily reflective of the diversity (stakeholder, region, gender) within the workshops, nor could one directly correlate topics of interest to regions/stakeholders based on the metric of co-organizers.  Some MAG members volunteered to review this and provide additional information/recommendations to the MAG.”

Best and thanks in advance for considering this,

Lynn
