As discussed in the vision breakout session at the Advisory Committee meting today, I'd like to suggest that we need to adjust the way we use the word "diversity" in this document. My main issue is that I feel the word has been watered down, specifically in the following bullet point under "operational principles":
Diversity: We believe in diversity and inclusion of participants from different geographical locations, cultures, languages, disabilities, gender identities, industries, organizational sizes, and more. In order to ensure W3C serves the needs of the entire Web user base, we also strive to broaden diversity and inclusion for our own participants.
My suggestion is that factors such as industries and organisational sizes, whilst important, do not belong in the same list as the other factors mentioned. In fact, as @wareid pointed out, the Code of Conduct already includes an agreed definition of diversity, which I'd like to suggest this document reference. We can then include wording to the effect that "we also value varied perspectives, including industry, organisational size, and other factors".
