OK. Seems like if the W3C is ramping up D&I activities it may make sense to
tap into that resource in your member orgs. And visa versa, seems to me
maybe those counterparts would find value to support the new Ethics & Code
of Conduct.

Right now it's being incubated just among the CCG chairs. However once the
initial research is done (which includes baseline data collection like
number/gender/diversity/geo-location breakdown of call attendance,
participation, time spent talking, presenters etc), I will do a call for
volunteers/broader participation in the CCG. I'd be happy to give an update
here at that time, and would welcome broader participation.

To be clear, my focus is a D&I strategy to be successfully implemented in
the CCG, which includes baseline numbers, metric to hit and proven
successful strategies that can be executed with our limited volunteer
resources. I have no objection to sharing our learnings with others &
potentially helping implement this elsewhere, but I am not building this
with other requirements/communities in mind. Killing scope creep before it
can start, ya know. :-)

Cheers,

-Heather
