[Eg-oversight-board] eg-oversight-board Digest, Vol 55, Issue 47

[Grace Dunbar]

All right then, I'm calling for a vote on expanding the Code of Conduct
wording to include "age" and clarifying the wording "gender" by replacing
it with, "gender, gender identity and expression".
Voting is open until 2:30pm ET (or until we reach a majority).
