Q1 states the following
In 2020 the Board created a Diversity and Inclusion Special Committee, and asked the Local Chapters and Communities Working Group to recommend actions in response to complaints about Systemic Offensive Behavior in the OSM Community.
On a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is strongly disagree, 2 is disagree, 3 is neutral, 4 is agree, and 5 is strongly agree, please mark how strongly you agree or disagree with these actions.
However the actions the LCWG recommended are not listed therefore how do we agree/disagree with them?
The Board is not asking whether you agree or disagree with the recommendations of the LCCWG, which in any case have not yet been presented (we anticipate receiving a preliminary report at the next OSMF Board of Directors meeting on January 29th). The Board is asking whether you agree or disagree with its decision to create the DISC and to refer a complaint about Systemic Offensive Behavior in the OSM community to the LCCWG. The Board’s decision to address the issue has just by itself evoked controversy.
