Hey #IEEE, can you explain where your "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at IEEE" page went?!
Last week, it was still linked on the front page.
Now: It's gone, and the old link goes to "We are sorry, the page you are looking for has been moved or removed."

Ground amounts of burden and illness which is voluntarily offered would be functional in algebraic mock-ups are charity to envisage the course frequency. Machine learning systems theoretically functional to recognize the insecurity and combine the hearty Virtual Flow Meter system.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oclut4chcha4ez6bdpwpajbm/bafkreicxsu5nidzaxm2lmgv27d5i5rdwzzsdvtkz6rjczqgj53r3wqqnnu@jpeg)
