In age terms they are probably middling diverse - It would be interesting to work out the exact diversity but I suspect that we have few adult members who are more than a quarter of a century older or younger than the trustee closest to their age. Some charities have trustees who are all pensioners, one I know has many clients who are over thirty years younger than its youngest trustee. In terms of Geography they are pretty diverse for a UK board. I think we've had a WMUK board with no-one from London or the SouthEast, this board has a geographic spread such that a large majority of either UK members, editors or potential editors are within an hours journey of at least one trustee. In Wikimedia terms we could consider the diversity by Project or subject. By project I think we have a predictable skew towards Wikipedia, and one particular language version of Wikipedia. I'm not sure what the diversity is by editing subject area, but I think that diversity there is important for a WMUK board. Some gender diversity would also be nice, it must be difficult for an all male board to give practical help in reducing our gender imbalance.
