Here's just a reminder that if you are a computational cognitive modeller and also part of any minority in the field, join this club full of amazing people: http://compcog.science/ And if you organize conferences / workshops / etc: It's also a good source for possible speakers!

If the only solution is to start again, delete the list in a sense and tweet asking for a do-over asking for characteristics and email addresses, maybe it's worth looking into?

Another option is to return to just being "women in modeling", perhaps? But the binarism of that kind of upsets me. But it would reduce the worry that we are treating all minorities in modeling the same? FWIW I'm in every minority mentioned.

I've looked in/around similar issues myself re: lists of people for a while. If I were to do something like this now, I would (i) consult with a lawyer specifically re GDPR (ii) start over again, and only include people who self-nominate/volunteer to be on it >

This is good advice -- I really think self-vol is crucial for many reasons. One of them being tied to identity-- I've been really uncomfortable when people slap me onto lists of "women in CL/AI/etc." Despite their good intentions

Absolutely. I only have one public Twitter list, and I only add people to it when I have their permission to do so, for specifically this reason.

FWIW I can take it down if you two feel this way, but I'm a bit worried as people use it to find others and offer them jobs.

As a non-queer man (allocishet) I don't have any valid take on this, IMHO - it's only that when talking with others about lists of this kind (e.g. around bioinformatics) that what I describe seems to be a consensus-ish around the opinions I've heard from others.

What you describe though isn't what I've done. I didn't collect any data for each person, merely that they belong to some of the minority categories in modeling. If you think it's a problem, I respect that and I offer to take the list down.
