- We can do this as a nudge for people, as in, we’re not ‘forcing’ people to give their pronouns, but we are encouraging them (so, optional)
- We should also standardise the pronunciation of names (via IPA or via English vocalisation) as a low priority

+ - After doing a 5-10’ presentation of all those points, do we want to ask people questions, or are we just happy to let the discussion be free?
+ - We want to appear as open as possible; as such, we might want to make it clear that the plan that we have is based on the previous editions of EmacsConf, but that we are quite willing to adapt it based on the participants’s inputs
+ - We don’t need to mention that we should remain civil, unless there’s a particularly egregious offender
+ - Questions we could ask:
+ - ‘What’s working elsewhere? Do you have examples of conferences doing well with regards to these issues?’
+ - Let’s come up with more questions for next time
+ - ----------------------------------------
+ - Should this discussion be a subset of a general EmacsConf improvement meeting
+ - If we are to engulf the diversity meeting into another one, we should nevertheless mention that diversity & accessibility should be essential talk-points
+ - We don’t have to limit ourselves to just this one meeting
+ - We could also announce the outreach program, and start with the office hours not too long after the meeting
+ - Do we want to make this meeting public?
+ - We don’t necessarily stream it; we could just do it in a BBB room
+ - This way, we can ask participants if they’re okay with us publishing their recording
