Jean-Noel, thats clear. But I'm right behind Vesna on this one. I think 
the ability to detect "discriminating content" (which may not always 
manifest through ill will but though unconscious bias) may be picked up 
more swiftly by a moderator who has experienced this as part of their 
own lived experience.

We may also want to take on board the potential editorial opportunities  
of new moderators. If we are keen to attract readers and contributors 
from a wider demographic they might be more willing to participate when 
invited by someone who could draw from a wider network and whose 
experience of issues were closer to their own.

Best David
