Tzviya: We should decide whether we are creating a tool to measure whether a thing is equitable or whether this is to determine if a spec is equitable

Jen: I think we should focus on defining equity first
… That will help people measure both
… We need to prepare to stress test our definition, so we can prepare responses

<JenStrickland_> How do we present+ Kimberly Cannon?

<JenStrickland_> We'll share the documents to the group.

<JenStrickland_> Over the next couple of weeks, ask the members to draft definitions of equity — building on “Equality is equal access, while ‘equity’ is equal outcomes.” [Antoinette Carroll, Creative Reaction Lab Founder]
