Hello Gender Gap,

With some collaborators, I submitted this panel for Wikimania 2014 "Reform
of citation structure for all Wikimedia project" [1]. Despite my best
efforts (and continuing efforts), I couldn't find any non-men to be on the
panel. I asked each of the potential panelists if they knew any other
qualified speakers (not specifically women, just other people), asked my
old colleagues, put a call out on social media. But it just ended up being
all-men.

Is it desirable to write something to the effect of "we are cognizant this
is an all-male panel, and would like to change the underlying factors" as a
preamble to the submissions? And if so, what is the right way?

Best,
