- tzviya: Yes it says that
- 14:06:28 [dbooth]
- Good idea!

- 14:07:28 [fantasai]
- tzviya: AB had an F2F where Wendy and I presented the draft Coc
- 14:07:43 [fantasai]
- ... initially just a little feedback, but then a bunch of issues logged as follow up
- 14:07:51 [fantasai]

- ... and other fix
- 14:13:16 [fantasai]
- ... significant difference was the update text and its placement
- 14:13:26 [fantasai]
- ... I moved out the major part of the update text, the part that descries our schedule
- 14:13:35 [fantasai]
- ... moved it intou our contribution document, not in the CoC itself
- 14:13:39 [fantasai]
- ... so that we can more easily change it
- 14:13:47 [fantasai]

- 14:19:22 [fantasai]
- ... that last bullet about reverse-isms is still problematic

- 14:21:14 [fantasai]
- tzviya: chaals made a good point that we had previously described uncomfortableness around physical contact around culture, but might not be just cultural could be personal dislike
- 14:21:33 [fantasai]

- JenStrickland_: So what do we say happens in these cases?
- 14:22:58 [dbooth]
- q+ i generally think this shift from culture to individual is good. It embraces the whole concept of diversity.

- dbooth: I find it redundant
- 14:24:07 [fantasai]
- tzviya: I think it's OK
- 14:24:30 [fantasai]
- JenStrickland_: Agreed. Sometimes can be perceived as more than just a personal space issue, it's both
- 14:24:40 [dbooth]
- Fine with me either way.
- 14:24:40 [fantasai]
- tzviya: ok, I think we're going to merge it
- 14:24:48 [fantasai]

- 14:25:36 [fantasai]
- wendyreid: in response to issue 327
- 14:25:41 [fantasai]
- ... raised issue of race in list of dimensions
- 14:25:59 [fantasai]
- ... we reached out to some people to get feedback from people who have lived experience of being person of color in Europe
- 14:26:20 [fantasai]
- ... There was feeling that we couldn't remove the word race, but inclusion of "racial identity" would be ok to add
- 14:26:25 [dbooth]
- Addition of "racial identity" seems to me like a good idea.
- 14:26:31 [fantasai]

- 14:29:12 [dbooth]
- fantasai: This doesn't seem to address the issue raised in the AB.
- 14:29:29 [wendyreid]
- fantasai: It doesn't seem to me that this addresses the issue raised during the AB that the definition assumes that race is a valid way to organize people, look at their participation and review if we're sufficiently diverse.
- 14:29:41 [wendyreid]
- ... all of which supposes that race is an appropriate and valid way of categorizing people
- 14:29:46 [dbooth]
- ... Are we sufficiently diverse racially? Encourage people to participate? Which assumes that race is a valid way to categorize people.
- 14:29:50 [wendyreid]
- ... it doesn't address that aspect of the issue
- 14:30:10 [fantasai]
- JenStrickland_: great point, but maybe add something that defines race as a social construct that's a lot of [bs]

- 14:31:01 [fantasai]
- tzviya: it's an important point. Wendy and I reached out to people of color in Europe who acknowledge that "race" is a challenging term in Europe
- 14:31:04 [fantasai]
- ... but it can't be ignored
- 14:31:14 [fantasai]
- ... just like how we talk about gender as a social construct
- 14:31:22 [fantasai]
- ... we do have a problem in W3C that we don't have enough racial diversity
- 14:31:26 [fantasai]
- ... we can't ignore that it exists
- 14:31:43 [wendyreid]
- q+
- 14:31:51 [fantasai]
- ... do we need to add asterisks, saying "race is a construct", "gender is a construct"?
- 14:31:52 [florian]
- q?
- 14:31:58 [fantasai]
- ... people with lived experience asked us to keep it
- 14:32:04 [fantasai]
- florian: I agree with what fantasai said.
- 14:32:14 [fantasai]
- ... that said I don't think the PR is a problem, should be merged
- 14:32:24 [fantasai]
- ... whether it solves the issue is a separate problem, and in that respect I think it falls a bit short
- 14:32:45 [fantasai]
- florian: I wouldn't go so far as to say race is an invalid construct, but that's not quite right
- 14:32:51 [fantasai]
- ... there are constructs where it's valid and others where it's not
- 14:32:57 [fantasai]
- ... it's very difficult in an international context

- 14:33:18 [fantasai]
- ... We can't erase discussion of race, and we have many places in the document where it is apropriately referenced
- 14:33:33 [fantasai]
- ... but for the reasons mentioned, I think it's problematic here
- 14:33:45 [fantasai]
- ... I wonder if "racial identity + ascribed race" would solve the problem
- 14:33:53 [tzviya]

- 14:34:17 [fantasai]
- ... We need to find the thin line between the two, where we neither erase the concept for those to whom it matters, neither force it upon others
- 14:34:22 [fantasai]
- dbooth: I agree with those concerns
- 14:34:30 [fantasai]
- ... and I agree that the PR is an improvement from what's in the document

- ... so go ahead and merge
- 14:34:42 [tzviya]
- ack wendyreid
- 14:34:49 [fantasai]
- ... but we should think about and maybe come up with better wording in the future
- 14:34:59 [fantasai]
- wendyreid: One of the challenges we're having here applies to gender, nationality, etc.
- 14:35:07 [fantasai]
- ... all of these things are constructs created by the social conventions of our society
- 14:35:14 [fantasai]
- ... different societies have different conventions
- 14:35:26 [fantasai]
- ... we have to thread the needle between what's appropriate in each context and what is protective
- 14:35:44 [fantasai]
- ... Question of are we going to start making lists, that's a slippery slope argument
- 14:35:49 [fantasai]
- ... could say the same for gender etc.
- 14:36:08 [fantasai]
- ... There might be a context where you need to ensure the people ensure a diversity of racial identity
- 14:36:16 [fantasai]
- ... but that's contextual, not every situation
- 14:36:24 [fantasai]
- ... but agree we should merge now and continue to have this conversation

- ... many things to improve about the document, but let's put a line down and move forward
- 14:37:00 [fantasai]
- JenStrickland_: I think this conversation is very interesting, and I think that it's complicated because we have uncertain amount of dimension representation in this group
- 14:37:12 [fantasai]
- ... when we're using these terms, they are socially accepted terms that are currently being used
- 14:37:38 [fantasai]
- ... we could have a sentence that says, we acknolwedge that these terms are what society uses while they may also be somewhat problematic, we are not the ones who police/oversee the use of these terms
- 14:37:43 [fantasai]
- ... that's a larger topic than us
- 14:37:51 [fantasai]
- ... I love the addition of racial identity
- 14:38:01 [fantasai]

- 14:39:16 [fantasai]
- ... because no matter what, you're going to offend someone by inclusion or exclusion
- 14:39:29 [fantasai]

- ... I do want to mention as fantasai mentioned during the AB meeting, that the addition of "race" is a change from the base revision
- 14:40:33 [fantasai]
- ... so this is something we need to consider for this revision,
- 14:40:36 [fantasai]
- ... let me explain
- 14:40:46 [fantasai]
- ... current published CEPC has a much shorter list in this spot, and this list doens't include "race"
- 14:40:56 [fantasai]
- ... the concerns raised by adding 'race' are new compared to existing def
- 14:41:02 [fantasai]
- ... so while this PR is an improvement over the editor's draft
- 14:41:19 [fantasai]
- ... but if it doesn't resolve chaals and my issue, it doesn't resolve that issue (even if it does get closer)
- 14:41:24 [fantasai]
- tzviya: what are you suggesting?
- 14:41:36 [fantasai]
- florian: I think we should merge, it's an incremental improvement
- 14:41:42 [fantasai]
- ... but I don't think it resolves the whole issue
- 14:41:59 [fantasai]
- tzviya: I don't think we can do anything other than remove the list. We can't have such a long list and not include race or racial identity
- 14:42:11 [fantasai]
- florian: I'll try to think

- q+ to suggest that we have general agreement both: 1. this PR is an improvement that should be merged; but 2. It is imperfect and would be good to further improve later if we can figure out how.
- 14:45:42 [tzviya]
- Diversity for the purposes of diversity and inclusion, is any dimension that can be used to differentiate groups and people from one another.

- JenStrickland_: we have lists elsewhere in the document, but this is one opportunity to ...
- 14:46:52 [fantasai]
- wendyreid: I don't want to do this, mostly because we use lists other places in the document
- 14:47:00 [fantasai]
- ... I'd rather unify the lists and make them consistent
- 14:47:13 [fantasai]
- ... This is the first instance where we have a list and diversity
- 14:47:22 [fantasai]
- ... I want to make sure we're consistent when we describe these things
- 14:47:32 [fantasai]
- ... I'm also worried about not being explicit and people taking advantage of that
- 14:47:38 [fantasai]
- ... I understand where we're coming from but...
- 14:47:51 [fantasai]
- ... these are socialogical shorthands for behavior.
- 14:48:04 [fantasai]
- ... race is an uncomfortable construct, developed to organize people in the worst way possible
- 14:48:16 [fantasai]

- dbooth: Firstly, I think Florian's comments were useful and insightful
- 14:49:05 [fantasai]
- ... from a practical perspective, it sounds like we mostly agree that this PR is an improvement over current state of ED
- 14:49:14 [fantasai]
- ... and that further improvement seems necessary
- 14:49:23 [tzviya]
- ack JenStrickland_
- 14:49:24 [fantasai]
- ... so I suggest we merge this PR and continue looking for improvements
- 14:49:42 [fantasai]
- JenStrickland_: I think I agree with dbooth. For practical purposes let's merge it
- 14:49:47 [fantasai]
- ... but I also agree with removing it is a good first step
- 14:49:54 [fantasai]
- ... I don't think removing is pretending it doesn't happen
- 14:50:07 [fantasai]
- ... I still think that sentence acknowledges that we do categorize people under a variety of dimensions
- 14:50:16 [fantasai]
- ... I just don't think we need to list them at this point
- 14:50:19 [fantasai]
- ... It's too complicated.
- 14:50:45 [fantasai]
- ... I still battle with idea that we're standards organization, but do we also want to decide the ways people are categorized and diminished?
- 14:50:55 [fantasai]
- ... having these lists is a pandora's box
- 14:51:02 [fantasai]

- ... [quotes text]
- 14:51:44 [fantasai]
- ... This is a terrible definition
- 14:51:56 [fantasai]
- ... I don't remember how we go this definition, but late to change it now if we want to get things done today
- 14:52:13 [fantasai]
- ... What we want to talk about is bringing together people from different dimensions
- 14:52:39 [fantasai]
- ... Main reason for glossary is for people who don't speak English as a first language
- 14:52:46 [fantasai]
- ... if you are English you won't look at glossary
- 14:52:54 [dbooth]
- I understand the concern about examples being misconstrued as complete definitions, but I think examples are very helpful for people to understand what we are trying to say.

- florian: I'm fine with merging as-is. As for removing the list, it does resolve that issue, but may introduce others
- 14:53:37 [fantasai]
- ... if we keep the list, and we have racial identity, and we have "race and", I didn't understand why it wouldn't work
- 14:53:50 [fantasai]
- ... to have "perceived race and racial identity"
- 14:53:56 [fantasai]

- fantasai, you wanted to dispute use of glossary
- 14:54:32 [dbooth]
- "ascribed" is overly erudite. "perceived" is okay with me.
- 14:55:30 [tzviya]
- Proposal: Change definition to "including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds"

- florian: Be mindful of where the definition is invoked from. Currently diversity is in a sentence that says diversity is something we promote.
- 15:00:35 [fantasai]
- ... which is a good thing, but impacts the definition
- 15:01:10 [fantasai]
- wendyreid: Let's open an issue for this
