These have to be the silliest rules or standards companies have ever tried to put in place. I don't know about anyone else but I don't care what race, gender, sexual orientation or about any of that stuff. Just hire the best person available. If it happens to be a woman, a transgender person, a minority or whatever, that has Jack Squat to do with anything if they are the most qualified, hire them. No body cares or at least I don't.

I dont think DEI even matters here. A stock exchange trying to influence who sits on a companys board of directors is completely unreasonable. Doesnt matter the criteria they propose for their metrics IMO.
