I see no harm in including these type of question as optional.
Personally I do not care if it were mandatory but I think that the most
sensible thing to do is to add it as optional.
It would be also good to see the complete set of questions.
So, I support.

The IETF is concerned about diversity. As good engineers, we would like
to attempt to measure diversity while working on addressing and increasing
it. To that end, we are considering adding some possibly sensitive
questions to the registration process, for example, gender. Of course,
they need not be answered and would be clearly labeled as optional.
The IAOC would like to hear from the community on this proposal. It plans to
make a decision on its 18 April call in order to make the changes in time for
the
Berlin registration and will consider all input received by 17 April.
Thanks for your feedback.
