[Marianne Franklin]

Dear all

See below for salient point from Anriette about ongoing claims in parts
of the wider IG Domain that there are not enough good women with
expertise out there.

Thanks Anriette.

Dear all (apologies for cross posting)

Please apply or nominate people! And ICANN is actively striving for
diversity.

My personal view is that achieving diversity is not difficult. There are
frequent assumptions in the internet world that there are not many women
with IG knowledge and skills and leadership capacity and experience.
There are similar assumptions about the pool of qualified candidates in
the  global South  being extremely small. There is also an assumption
that  diversity  is  just about gender, race, geographic location (what
about diversity of political experience, views, business, knowledge etc.?).

I personally do not agree with any of these assumptions! Do you?
