<div dir="ltr">Sorry, Yana, <div><br></div><div>but this very fierce argument "<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">excluding an entire gender" is ridiculous.

<div dir="ltr"><div>I just realized that you scheduled the Digital Rights Networking Lunch at the same time as the WikiWomen’s lunch. It doesn't look like a lot of people have confirmed attendance and it hasn't been added to the official Wikimania program. So perhaps there is still time to reschedule. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Scheduling these two meetings at the same time means that most women who are interested in policy will not be able to attend and the gathering will be akin to an old-boys club. That in turn gives Wikimedia’s policy efforts less legitimacy in the broader digital rights community, which has had a lot of discussions about gender balance and has pretty good female representation overall. I know that the Wikimania schedule is tight, but there must be a way you can schedule this to avoid excluding an entire gender!</div>
