The Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Communications Statement is inviting publishers to endorse their statement of principles (Statement of principlesAdopting organisations):

  • eliminating barriers to participation, extending equitable opportunities across all stakeholders, and ensuring that our practices and policies promote equitable treatment and do not allow, condone, or result in discrimination
  • creating and maintaining an environment that respects diverse traditions, heritages, and experiences
  • promoting diversity in all staff, volunteers, and audiences, including full participation in programs, policy formulation, and decision-making
  • raising awareness about career opportunities in our industries to groups who are currently underrepresented in the workforce
  • supporting our members in achieving diversity and inclusion within their organizations

From my reading of it, it seems strongly in line with how WikiJournals aim to operate (e.g. map of journal editor locations). What do people think about endorsing it?
