• Recommendation: Consider partnerships with Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) and organizations (e.g. Girls Who Code) aimed at increasing diversity pipeline. Partnerships could be centered around recruitment, engagement in hackathons, and training.
  • Proposed motion #3: WHEREAS, we on the Governing Board agree to facilitate introductions to organizations focused on bringing underrepresented groups into software development that we are working with in order to create new collaboration opportunities for the Hyperledger community and direct the staff to pursue collaboration opportunities.
    

• Recommendation: Staff responsibilities (We recommend a process where projects that want to be more inclusive can opt in to receive support from staff in auditing and updating their contribution infrastructure.)
  
  • Proposed motion #4: WHEREAS, we on the Governing Board direct Hyperledger staff to clearly define roles and responsibilities to regularly audit review the ability for new contributors to participate in the Hyperledger community and to coach and provide guidance to support projects with implementing changes to make the community a more welcoming and inclusive space.
  • Example: This year we have run pilot efforts to support a small number of projects with auditing their current contribution pathways and working with them to improve those pathways.  We could scale this effort up and create a process for supporting all of the projects in the community that would like this assistance.

Please feel free to add proposed motions here.

• Proposed motion: WHEREAS, we the Governing Board commit to actively encouraging the participation of leading members of the ecosystem, including developers, service and solution providers and end users to achieve a more diverse Board and Speaker Bureau.
