Hi all,
Thanks for the indicators Gene, this will indeed help to structure the
discussion. I would like to suggest to three other indicators:
4. Non-male gender (there are more than enough of us speaking)
5. Non-European or American (there are more than enough of us speaking)
6. Experience in grass-roots activism, not only policy work. Not to
discredit policy work at all, but it will help show the link between
policy and the end-user and thus contribute to CS credibility. Both
are direly needed. We need to be better at telling the story about how
our work improves the life of the end-user.
Best,
Niels
