 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,

[Maximilian Klein]

Thank you all for your advice,

This has given me some ideas about how to better ask in the future.
Actually, I see from asking here, that __asking__ for help is one very good
way to get.
