[Bigbang-dev] adding to our IETF ml analysis research questions list

[Corinne Cath]

Hi Nick and Niels,

Some thoughts, which are easier to email than to add to git.

Maybe it would be interesting to add something about the rotation of
leadership, what WGs do they come from/go back to, same for their
affiliations?

- How are you operationalizing affiliation?
- How do you operationalize gender?

Have you additionally considered a broader set of identity indicators?
(age, race, etc) to the extent that you can do that, I understand that is
difficult to do quantitatively.

In terms of overarching questions, I would be interested in learning more
about how issues like sexism, racism, ableism play out on the mailinglists,
as I heard a lot about that from my interviews. Its hard, but not
impossible to do sentiment analysis for those kinds of conversation. I have
reached out to a friend who does that for reddit forums to see if her code
is on git.

Best,
