If you are interested in becoming a member of the Inclusivity Working Group, please submit your application here. If you would like to learn more about member responsibilities, please check out our Roles and Responsibilities guide.

Process Notes

  • Submissions are anonymous, only members of the inclusivity WG can see the responses.
  • Submissions are discussed privately by current members of the Inclusivity WG.
  • Applicants will receive either an acceptance or rejection message via their supplied email.
    • The results are not made public by the WG.
    • Applicants are free to make the response public, if so desired.
  • Once accepted, new members will be:
    • Publicly listed on GitHub, and have voting rights in all Working Group matters.
    • Added as a collaborator to the repository.
    • Invited to the Slack channel*.
  • Although Slack is a private communication system, the Inclusivity Working Group makes the contents of the Slack team public after a period of time. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.

Voting criteria

Applications will be considered using the following criteria:

  • Does the applicant have a reasonable understanding of inclusivity and diversity?
  • Does the applicant seem sincere in their application, i.e. not a troll?
  • Does the applicant bring a new perspective to the Inclusivity Working Group?
  • Has the applicant previously contributed to the Inclusivity Working Group on GitHub or in Slack? (major bonus points)

Response steps:

  • The application is discussed as a group on Slack to try and arrive at a consensus. It is not a blind vote without discussion first.
  • Once a decision is ready to be made, a vote is taken by the WG members. This is the official selection process, with the vote result being binding.
    • Applicants are approved by unanimous vote only.
  • If accepted, an invitation to the Slack is sent, the applicant is added as a collaborator to the GitHub repository, and their name is added to the official list of members.
  • If the candidate is rejected, a document is drafted summarising the reasons for rejection. This should relate clearly back to the voting criteria above. This document is sent to the email they supplied in the Typeform.
