That strikes me as the welcome mat in front of a rathole.  How does
the gender balance in the IETF (or whatever subgroup of the IETF)
compare to the balance in the population from which the IETF or the
subgroup is drawn?  What population is that, exactly?  etc etc blah
blah

There are lots of reasons we don't see more women in the IETF.  Some
are things we can fix ourselves, some are things we can't, but you'd
have to be wilfully blind not to see ways that the IETF can be
uncomfortable for women, particularly young women.

R's,
