Yes. And I would like to know, in statistical terms, whether
there are significant differences between (for example) the
M/F ratios among (a) IETF registrants, (b) active participants,
(c) WG chairs & secretaries and (d) I* members.

[Discussion on the objective definition of active participation
is deferred for now.]

The null hypothesis would be that no significant differences exist.
If that turns out to be true, we know that our problem is only lack of
diversity among registrants. If it turns out to be false, we know
that we have an internal problem of some kind as well.
