14:04:52 <Ralph> zakim, next ite
14:04:52 <Zakim> I don't understand 'next ite', Ralph

14:05:17 <Zakim> agendum 2 -- Diversity Fund update -- taken up [from Ralph]
14:05:27 <tzviya> present+
14:05:28 <Ralph> Liz: thinking about two versions of the fund
14:05:30 <Ralph> ... @@
14:05:47 <Ralph> ... need to rewrite the comms to be more user friendly
14:05:54 <Ralph> ... e.g. simplify the grammar
14:06:15 <Ralph> ... this is largely done, I still need to do a general comms plan: timeline for sending tings
14:06:19 <Ralph> s/tin/thin
14:06:27 <Ralph> ... we're loosely calling this "TPAC Fellow"
14:06:39 <Ralph> ... can nominate people to contribute in a specific way
14:06:49 <wseltzer> wseltzer has joined #pwe
14:06:51 <Ralph> ... "you have something we'd value to hear"
14:06:55 <Ralph> ... a $500 stipend
14:07:14 <Ralph> ... "TPAC Fellow" feels in the same family as "W3C Fellow"
14:07:26 <DKA> Sounds great.
14:07:33 <Judy> q+
14:07:34 <Ralph> ... thoughts?
14:07:34 <Barb> +1
14:07:44 <wseltzer> +1
14:07:48 <Ralph> DKA: sounds great to me
14:08:12 <Ralph> ... one thing comes to mind: a couple of the 2020 TPAC sessions had external speakers who were invited
14:08:20 <Ralph> ... they got a stipend, not sure from where
14:08:38 <Ralph> ... that feels like it could be the same thing as the TPAC Fellow idea; it feels similar
14:08:40 <tzviya> ack ju
14:08:50 <Ralph> Judy: sounds good to me as well, both parts
14:09:18 <Ralph> ... having this be able to work, particularly for the first category you mentioned; types of diversity support, needs a 3rd piece to set up accounts in advance
14:09:38 <Ralph> ... may also be needed for the Fellow piece; advance setup
14:09:45 <tzviya> q+
14:09:51 <Ralph> Wendy: I am hoping to get good coordination and have something I can go check
14:10:06 <Ralph> ... we are getting pressure from W3C Management to bring a proposal forward
14:10:08 <annette_g> annette_g has joined #pwe
14:10:24 <Ralph> ... anything that can come from here will help
14:10:24 <annette_g> present+
14:10:59 <tzviya> ack me
14:11:03 <Ralph> ... making sure that we can get the money to the grantees with minimal extra burden on those we are trying to help
14:11:14 <wseltzer> present+
14:11:16 <Ralph> Tzviya: we have some funds remaining from 2020
14:11:46 <Ralph> ... our goal is to be raising the funding during June-August for the following year; i.e. have it a year in advance
14:12:02 <Ralph> ... I'll talk with Liz to get this in writing
14:12:08 <wseltzer> q+
14:12:13 <Ralph> ... and get it out so we can start the fundraising
14:12:23 <Ralph> Wendy: terrific
14:12:24 <tzviya> ack wseltzer
14:12:43 <Ralph> ... I would like to be able to bring drafts to W3M in parallel with this group's consideration

14:14:35 <Ralph> Judy: when will we discuss the vetting of the resources?
14:15:09 <Ralph> Tzviya: there were 3 volunteers a while ago who signed up to help vet
14:15:27 <Barb> I am interested in vetting the list.
14:15:41 <Ralph> ... we'd decided that anyone who had an item they'd like to add can add it to the library and the vetters would take a look
14:15:49 <Ralph> ... I no longer have the time to be one of the vetters
14:16:02 <Ralph> ... if others are interested in the vetting, please volunteer
14:16:16 <Ralph> ... we need 3 people to give approval to keep something on the reading list
14:16:26 <Ralph> Judy: I suggest the vetters meet at least once
14:16:39 <Ralph> ... and discuss not only what resources are good but also what to do with them
14:16:40 <sheila> I'd be happy to help with vetting, if needed
14:16:54 <tzviya> thank you, sheila
14:17:02 <Ralph> Barbara: I agree a meeting would be good
14:17:39 <Ralph> ... if we host a discussion where people are invited to express their learnings from the readings, and even better if we can get some of the authors to talk with us, this would be a way to get people to join the discussion
14:17:46 <Ralph> ... I'm happy to reach out to authors
14:18:07 <Ralph> Tzviya: I don't want to make this more work than necessary
14:18:25 <Ralph> ... another group I'm part of tried to do a DEI "book club"
14:18:45 <Ralph> ... I don't want this to become something people want to participate in but can't find the time
14:18:58 <Ralph> Barbara: it's just a concept of a format to discuss a topic; it can be event driven
14:19:20 <Ralph> ... the "book club" idea is just referring to the idea of inviting the author
14:20:09 <Judy> [JB: Thinks that we could consider a range of ways to promote awareness of the reading list, including lightweight approaches]
14:22:35 <Ralph> zakim, take up item 4
14:22:35 <Zakim> agendum 4 -- AOB -- taken up [from Ralph]
14:22:46 <Ralph> Barbara: was there any discussion of DEI in the AC meeting?
14:23:02 <Ralph> Tzviya: I did a pre-recording
14:23:11 <Ralph> ... it will be made public soon
14:23:31 <Ralph> ... I didn't get a lot of questions during the live discussion session
14:23:44 <Ralph> ... I think people recognized this is important and we need to move forward on this
14:24:14 <Ralph> Barbara: I look forward to the video
14:24:32 <Ralph> ... at one time we'd talked about a page for first-time people to make W3C more welcoming
14:24:40 <Ralph> ... any updates on a first-timers web page?
14:25:07 <DKA> q+ to ask about office hours....
14:25:17 <Ralph> Tzviya: perhaps Coralie is working on this; I'll follow up with her
14:25:33 <Ralph> ... I'd suggested a welcome email to anyone who joins a group
14:25:44 <tzviya> ack Ralph
14:25:46 <Ralph> ... each chair needs to set it up for their group
14:26:48 <tzviya> ack DKA
14:26:48 <Zakim> DKA, you wanted to ask about office hours....
14:27:02 <Ralph> Ralph: Coralie is leading a big project to redesign our public-facing web site
14:27:27 <Ralph> ... that's part of making W3C more welcoming to potential new participants
14:27:47 <Ralph> DKA: is anyone taking advantage of our "office hours" project?
14:27:53 <Barb> Agree
14:27:57 <Ralph> [Tzviya shakes her head 'no']
14:28:11 <Ralph> DKA: let's take a retrospective look at that
14:29:07 <Ralph> Tzviya: "office hours" was intended to be a set of us offering to be available to speak with anyone new to W3C
14:29:13 <Ralph> ... we've not had any requests
14:29:32 <Ralph> DKA: maybe canvass people to see if there might be interest

14:30:00 <Ralph> subtopic: Bystander Training
14:30:15 <Ralph> Tzviya: I attended a training session last week; it was impressive
14:30:42 <Ralph> ... -> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pwe/2021May/0000.html "Bystander training" [Tzviya's email]
14:30:49 <Ralph> ... they got a lot into an hour
14:30:55 <tzviya> ack Ralph
14:31:05 <wseltzer> [thanks for the pointer Tzviya]
14:31:32 <Judy> [JB: Thanks for circulating that link Tzviya]
14:31:39 <Ralph> Ralph: +1; a great seminar - MIT had arranged with the same firm to do this
14:31:59 <Judy> q+
14:32:03 <tzviya> ack Judy
14:32:13 <Ralph> s/this/this for MIT folk
14:32:22 <Ralph> Judy: thanks for circulating that link
14:33:01 <Ralph> ... perhaps people on this call could take that training and we could discuss it
14:33:32 <annette_g> I will take a look
14:33:40 <sheila> +1
14:33:45 <Ralph> Tzviya: Hollaback is making it available at no cost during May
14:34:11 <Barb> How long is the training?
14:34:32 <Barb> ok I will review
14:34:45 <Ralph> Tzviya: it's scheduled for 1 hour and was extended a bit to answer lots of questions
14:34:55 <Ralph> ... we'll circle back to this in 2 weeks
