[IGFmaglist] IGF Gender Report Card 2015 - final

Tue Apr 19 07:04:47 EDT 2016

Hi all,

I apologise for multiple emails from me on this thread on the same day.
Realised I missed some points.

Renata, the idea of a graphic visualisation is great! We have changed
what we measured from year to year though, as an improvement to the
process, but some things are standard. We tried to do a comparative in
2015, but was a bit too difficult to. Maybe you can also provide some
thoughts and guidance on this.

Here are the reports from previous years:
* 2012:
http://www.genderit.org/articles/results-gender-report-card-2012-igf-more-women-make-huge-difference
* 2013:
http://www.genderit.org/sites/default/upload/igf2013genderreportv1.pdf
* An article looking at comparison between both years:
http://www.genderit.org/feminist-talk/moderate-progress-gender-parity-and-inclusion-igf-between-2012-2013
* 2014:
http://www.genderit.org/resources/internet-governance-forum-2014-results-gender-report-card

We're in the midst of writing an article for the 2015 findings.

And also think the idea of widening the pool for funding to support more
women and also other under-represented groups, evinced through
monitoring work, is a fantastic one. The gender DC tried to come up with
a list of women speakers and resource persons who could speak on a range
of thematic issues, in particular, from a gendered perspective, but not
sure if this was sustained. But could be useful from a mentoring
perspective as well, as you mentioned Marilyn.

Chengetai, let us know how we can support sharing the findings on the
IGF site.

Thanks again!

Best,
jac
