The voting window for the PC elections was discussed, considering the number of votes received so far along with ideas on how to encourage more people to vote in the election.
The group discussed presentation ratings so far. They went on to discuss the positive and negative aspects of chairing a session at RIPE 74.
The RACI sessions were praised, which led to a discussion on how the RIPE NCC and the PC could encourage more young people to present at RIPE Meetings.
The group then discussed the RIPE 74 programme, highlighting presentations they found particularly interesting. The room set-up was deemed a success in terms of encouraging audience engagement.
The group also considered ways in which they could assist presenters, such as via a mentoring or guidance arrangement, pre-prepared questions for each speaker, and the opportunity for the PC to review the delivery of a presentation before it was accepted to the programme.
The issue of timing was again raised, in order to ensure sessions ran to schedule.It was understood by the meeting that the task force would be operating through a long-term process and that the first report would be presented in Marseilles at RIPE 76. The task force will initially focus on gender diversity and will then broaden to consider as many diversity segments as possible.
The group then went on to discuss the suggestion of anonymity in the PCSS in order to avoid bias as much as possible. The task force agreed to work on improving the inclusivity of the submission system.
