According to the PDF(0), it states on page 6, footnote 6
...Instead set Googlegeist OKRs, potentially for certain demographics. We can increase representation at an org level by either making it a better environment for certain groups (which would be seen in survey scores) or discriminating based on a protected status (which is illegal and I’ve seen it done)....
The smoking gun here is "which is illegal and I’ve seen it done"... Well, shit. That seems to answer your question, "YES".
However... On James Damore's official website(1), it states the following from the same quote area.
...or discriminating based on a protected status (which is illegal).....
Which is illegal. No more claim of being a witness. How interesting. That would not validate your claim/question.
