All done!
cf. https://w3c.github.io/idcg/office-hours.html

I have also merged the two competing versions from master/ and main/ (and deleted the master branch after toggling “main” as source in our GH settings).

I’ve made a "Stick to the top of the blog” post to announce:
https://www.w3.org/community/idcg/2021/01/05/announcing-inclusion-and-diversity-open-office-hours/

… this triggered a @w3c tweet: https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1346416032509030400

Please, help promote as and when you see fit!
