Collect and share DEI-related metrics about dei-wg

[sk8forether]

I have created a new project for the annual survey we are working on putting together, which will include this initiative. I will be adding our full list of tasks there, and we will be coordinating with @cmaimone and the Steering Committee to make sure the survey covers the questions we need to ask as an organization beyond just metrics.

Hey all - all you looking for demographic distributions for related sets of people (to compare our membership demographics to, once they are collected)? Or is this item just about work on a member survey more broadly - couldn't quite tell, but I think it's the latter?

@cmaimone The project I linked above is about the survey. The metrics collection is one core piece of the survey, but yes, we're expecting to collect more than just metrics.

Discussed some September 7, 2022 at the DEI WG meeting. The suggestion is a few basic questions (4-5). Track who answered, but not keep the who with the what. There are tools for doing that (Qualtrics has this). Need to determine what level of approval is needed (whose IRB, for example). And where the information gets stored, and with what level of protection. IRB is needed for publication, but what constitutes publication?
