Hi!

I feel we should make it clear that being in any specific category does not give you a free pass on any of the other rules. We should make that explicit, otherwise this looks fine to me.

Best Regards, Hameer Abbasi

No, wait. I got it: Bad actors use "diversity of political beliefs" in bad faith as cover for undermining the goals of the diversity statement. Marginalized groups want more assurance that our community (1) isn't one of those bad actors and (2) is willing and capable of resisting those bad actors when they come. That's a very useful summary; thank you. I think we can fairly easily add a sentence that encourages participation from a wide diversity of people, while making it clear that including someone in the conversation does not give them free reigns in contradiction with the rest of the guidelines. Ralf, if you agree, shall we do this for SciPy, and use the new version for NumPy too? Although, perhaps, a better question to answer is how many people feel that the current document is deficient, and does not go far enough in stating explicitly what we want from our community interactions. It is always hard to tell the opinion of the sometimes silent majority? Best regards, Stéfan
