Still Not Invited to the Buffet

ISTE attendees can vote for their keynote, but the selection - 5 white males - is raising eyebrows. Tim Holt asks, "Where are the women? Where are the minority groups? Why couldn't the list like like this for instance: Marco Torres, Sheryl Nussbaum Beach, Bonney Bracey Sutton, Chris Lehman, Ken Shelton?" I would add that it is possible - indeed, more likely - that you will find a diverse set of people through fair recruitment techniques. In order to get an all-white-male set of speakers, the selection process has to have been skewed in such a way as to select (even if unintentionally) for that outcome.
