## Phase one: ranking of anonymized proposal contents
|
|
|
|
During this phase, the program committee will score each proposal solely on the merits of its contents, without any identifying information or other knowledge about the speaker(s) proposing the talk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Phase two: identify-aware ranking and curation
|
|
|
|
The program committee will use the scored proposals in conjunction with speaker profiles to rank and organize a program meeting our goals for diversity of speakers and topics.

## North Bay Python's diversity goals
|
|
|
|
+ At least one-third (33%) of speakers should be not-men, and ideally at least half (50%).
|
|
+ As North Bay Python aims to serve the "tech-adjacent" and client services industries, at least one-fifth (20%) of speakers should be from professional backgrounds that are not the Silicon Valley or San Francisco startup/software industry.
|
|
+ Racial demographics of the speaker lineup should ideally reflect US and Bay Area demographics within some margin of error. |
