In addition to the suggested actions in Quincy Brown's On Being Black in Computing During These Days she also has a curated list of action items that she recommends tech organizations consider.

This is an extensive list and includes topics in the areas of policy and procedures; work environments; students; research; investment; and contributions.

I recommend skimming the entire list for additional potentially relevant action items for W3C IDCG to consider adding to our plans.

A taxonomy of examples to support those categories, drawn from our meetings and discussions, is in this message
