Re: A step towards an ERB

I love this idea, and it might be a good first step that requires very little "administration". Producing a short list of questions for editors/chairs to review that needs to be answered as part of transition? 

I think we'd need to do some research on the kind of questions that should be asked, but I think it's doable! 

I'm happy to do some research on any similar initiatives and the kind of questions we could put in a questionnaire.

    Everyone,

    One of the ideas on the wiki is an Equality Review Board (ERB). I think
    it is definitely something we should work towards, but of all our ideas
    it is the one I think we should be most cautious about doing before we
    have better representation ourselves.

    We've already talked today about ways we can invite people from
    under-represented groups to join this CG, and the need to phrase the
    invitation carefully so we do not give the impression that we're trying
    to offload the hard work onto other people. As we start to do more
    outreach we will hopefully reach a point where we have enough diversity
    ourselves to look more seriously at forming an ERB.

    In the meantime I wonder if we could take a step in the right direction
    by helping members of our community review what they're working on
    themselves? Some of the horizontal review groups at W3C have developed
    self-review checklists - relatively short sets of questions designed to
    help WG participants and specification editors consider their work in a
    different light. I know the TAG has also had success using self-review
    questionnaires.

    I have not got any further with thinking about this idea, but wanted to
    share it in case it was something we might choose to do.

    Léonie.
