For many months we have recognized the gender disparity on the list. We
currently have 34 members, and only 1 woman (Carole).
I'm sure that we would all like to see this change. I have been working
on this issue for months behind the scenes (i.e. off-list).
I don't think it is fair to the individuals concerned to discuss them on
the list so I have prepared a confidential report that specifies who was
asked or considered and what has been done to date. I will forward that
report to any list members upon request.
If you have any individuals that you wish to recommend, I ask (once
again) that you contact me privately.
In OPE-L Solidarity,
