## R-Ladies Organization Structure

{{< figure src="RladiesStructure.png" alt="R-Ladies organigram" >}}

## R-Ladies Rules & Guidelines

- **Free**: Public events run by R-Ladies are always offered free of
charge to participants.

- **R** **Language/Environment specific**: The contextual
subject/domain scope of R-Ladies' diversity initiative is
specifically the open source R community.

- **Leadership, Mentorship, Membership, Presenters/Speakers &
Prioritization of Underrepresented/Minority Genders**: In line
with R-Ladies' Mission Statement, community roles and
participation is reserved and prioritised, respectively, for the
genders who are currently underrepresented in the R community. As
such, Leadership roles within R-Ladies communities, particularly
Organiser and any Mentor roles, are to be held by people of a
minority gender. If there exists sufficient choice to have
Presenters/Speakers at R-Ladies who identify as a minority gender,
this is the preferred option. However, the choice of
Presenters/Speakers is up to the relevant local Organisers'
discretion, depending on availability and potential value/learning
opportunity of those who volunteer.

- **Rules for Participation of Represented/Majority Gender**: In line
with R-Ladies' Mission Statement, the genders/identities which are
not underrepresented in the R community are not within the scope
of this diversity initiative. The known majority gender group, cis
men, can participate in an R-Ladies' community within an
appropriately designed framework, as per the relevant local
Organisers' discretion, e.g., as an invited guest of/sponsored by
a Member, as a full Member etc. The majority of the speakers at
any R-Ladies chapter needs to be of a minority gender and there is
a strong recommendation for maximum one cis-male speaker per
event. Given this majority gender's dominance in the general R
community, there is no obligation for R-Ladies to
focus/provide/allow comparable support or engage with this
majority identity, particularly at the expense of the target
minority gender groups - as such, it is feasible to enable, for
example, Meetup membership requests to require Organizer approval,
and allowing only those identifying as the target minorities to
join the R-Ladies.

- **Note**: Please do be aware of the relevant Equality
Legislation in your jurisdiction, e.g the Equality Act 2010 in
the UK, when designing participation frameworks for the
majority gender, to ensure your procedures are not infringing
local laws re. potential discrimination.

- **R-Ladies Code of Conduct**: All members must follow the [Code of
Conduct](/about/coc).

- **Community-Driven administration, independent of External
influences**: R-Ladies does not have permanent ties or links to
external sponsors or parties. Appropriate sponsorship and support
which does not seek to dictate or influence R-Ladies
Mission-driven activities/decision-making but enhances the
community's operations and impact is welcomed. Local R-Ladies
Organisers are encouraged to gain appropriate support which does
not compromise the community's independence.

- **No commercial agenda**: Chapters are started by individuals, not by companies.
Chapters can partner with companies for sponsorship in the form of venue space, food or other supplies. Chapters and events may not be ‘used’ by a corporation/as a commercial vehicle for private aims.
This also means that speakers cannot give talks about paid products/services,
even if they don't work at the company offering the product/service.

## Chapters

Chapters are set up by R-Leaders (identifying as a minority gender) in
cities around the world. In this guide you will find information about
how to get started. Each R-Ladies chapter is expected to conduct themselves
in accordance with the following stipulations:

- Use of the [Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/) platform
to help organise and promote chapter events, with appropriate
name, e.g. "R-Ladies \[Location\]"

- Use of a social media accounts to help promote chapter events and
publicise R-Ladies Global activities and news, with appropriate
name, e.g. \@RLadies\[Location\]

- Pro-active participation by chapter leaders in the R-Ladies
Organizers Slack as the main centralised communication platform
for R-Ladies community engagement, and collective decision-making.

- Pro-active sharing of relevant learnings, conferences/events,
resources, news, achievements, ideas, projects, and proposals via
the R-Ladies Slack, social media, and
[github](https://github.com/rladies) by chapter leaders.

Email `[email protected]` for inquiries about creating a new chapter or
reactivating a chapter that is currently inactive. If you are already a chapter
organizer, you can message on slack \#new\_chapters (or \#organisers) with any questions.
