When proposing a motion below, please also include a reference to one of the recommendations that was presented to the TSC so that we can track items back to recommendations that the DCI-WG has identified as important to address.
***Approved Motions for the GB - Updated to reflect Governing Board adjustments***
- Recommendation: Raise the profile of the diversity and inclusion focused efforts in the community
- Proposed motion #1: WHEREAS, the Governing Board shall task the Marketing Committee and Hyperledger staff to organize at least one diversity focused effort/campaign that features a contribution pathway for how people can contribute around an aspect of diversity and a recognition of people's contributions in this space each quarter in 2021 to raise the profile of the diversity and inclusion focused efforts in the community and increase the diversity of project's user base and developer. Moreover Hyperledger staff shall continue to build upon DCI commitment to marketing and event campaigns.
- Example: The Fabric Documentation Working Group earlier this year started working with community members to translate Fabric documentation into different languages, which has already resulted in 7 new languages being supported. Highlighting the work of these contributors would show our language diversity and show that Hyperledger is a global community. A campaign would also help us reach new people interested in translating more content into more languages. Other campaigns could be focused around Pride month, Hyperledger-based projects that are being developed by students and professors at HBCUs, or events such as the Grace Hopper conference.
