Lest conspiracy theories get any more exciting, I've asked Tilman (who just moved into my department, and has been responsible for the survey results) to give an update on where things are and what the main holdup has been.
Thanks. It would be nice to be given a date this time by which the report will be published, rather than yet another "soon". As you are Tilman's boss now, you can ensure that he will have time to complete the job, and not be sidetracked into other work.
And please let's not kid ourselves. You know and I know that if the 2012 survey had shown female participation at 25% (that was the target set for 2015, by the way, the year we're now in), the report would have been out within months or weeks, accompanied by press releases and jingles -- and Sue Gardner would probably not have sounded quite so depressed about the gender gap in Hong Kong.
More importantly, any commitment to diversity sounds hollow if you don't even measure community demographics. As far as I know, there hasn't been an editor survey since 2012, and there are currently no plans to have another. Is that correct?
The United Nations University team did solid, professional work in 2008–2010. How about asking them for a repeat performance?
