Of course, I think gender balance is a very important issue, but I don't
think we should jump on some new IMC for that, while many old IMC's are far
from having any gender balance what so ever (just as I thought it was kind
of funny to ask ambazonia on their policy on gay issues).
But what do you think about making this part of the Membership criteria,
something like this:
"Discuss ways on how to diminish race and gender imbalances within the
group."
Of course we could also ask people to come up with a policy on this, but I
believe than we should first start with the excisting IMC's.
