Equity Community Group Proposed

The Equity Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

Enabling more equity in W3C processes, specifications, and expertise;
work on incubating proposals such as an Equity Horizontal Review Board.
Taking steps to ensure diversity of thought is critical. 

The Equity CG will work to propose an Equity Horizontal Review Board
(HRB) to review specifications and outputs for equity, as well as
document assessments and recommendations to address in specifications.
The group will determine whether it wants to address internal
specifications (as in a self-review questionnaire before CR) or provide
a tool for assessing equity (like WCAG).
This will require recruiting experts in equity as well as those who
reflect the diversity of the world and will take time.

--------------------------------------------------
