- The question of an interim chair wasn't resolved today, but the group plans to resolve the interim chair decision over email before the next bi-weekly call
- There was a discussion about if to do something related to the DCIWG at Member Summit. Alissa to put thoughts together about a possible workshop and Karen will check on what space is available in the agenda
- The need to do some wiki gardening came up and it makes sense to do this when setting up wiki pages for a DCIWG if the proposal is accepted

By phone: 1 646-558-8656 #4336690939
Agenda
- Update on LF's DCI effort and the status of Hyperledger being a pilot project
- Update on LF's ability to manage the data per earlier discussions on measuring diversity?
- Discussion about merging our efforts into the CHAOSS project's Diversity and Inclusion in Open Source Working Group – their next meeting is June 3
- How to move forward – finding a chair? recruiting more people?
- Other topics?
Action Items
- David to reach out to Dan about bringing the discussion about next steps with this group back to the TSC. Now that the next steps for the group are no longer to work with the LF's DCI efforts as a pilot project, we need to reset the focus for this group. It is also time to circle back with the TSC since this group started after a TSC discussion last year and the intention was to meet as a community to identify what ideas would emerge.
- Everyone who is interested in investigating the CHAOSS project's Diversity and Inclusion Open Source Working Group as a potential group to collaborate with is invited to attend their next meeting on June 3

Next steps? What do we want to do as a group? What do we want to propose to the TSC this Thursday?
Can we decide on one concrete step to start before the end of the year.My [Dan] bias is towards figuring out how we measure our diversity.
Options to consider:
Survey (probably best short-term option, but not something that is viable longer term, for instance survey fatigue will limit results)
Automated name guessing (Other LF projects have used this)
Community profiles (This would require infrastructure but having a place for people to self-report data about themselves is the best long-term option. This has worked for other communities. For instance, we have over self-reported gender information for over 90% of meetup attendees who use the meetup.com profiles)

What is our vision for community health?
