The scope of this working group is broadly around Diversity, Civility, and Inclusion in the Hyperledger open source community.  

Activities will include:*

• Devising and implementing various ways to measure relevant attributes, such as demographics or employer diversity among contributors, and tone of communications.

...

• Based on those metrics, generating recommendations to the TSC or to projects directly about how they might improve DCI.

...

• If actions are taken to improve an area of DCI, attempt to measure the impact of those actions.

Work Products

Based on the prior months of exploring what aspects we could address, the group decided to focus on one area first, gender diversity and inclusion, and then learn from that experience to expand into other dimensions of DCI. We recognize there are many reasons to select one group or another as a place to start, and we have settled on this area after lengthy discussions of the circumstances, possible approaches, and not blocking on making progress from optimizing for perfection.  The experience with the 2018 TSC election having only men who were nominated self-nominate also motivated the group to choose gender diversity as the initial focus. Further record of the group's progress towards this initial goal is captured in the Background and References section below. We also strongly welcome participation in this group from those who wish to focus their energy on developing the next round of DCI objectives.
