No, wait.  I agree the gender issue is important, but fail to see why
it should be considered the first issue.  It is not IETF-specific, as
we share this problem with many other organizations:  Female quotes

Here are some (unverified) numbers about women in some well-known companies in Country X:

  A  9%
  B  6%
  C  6%
  D 13%
  E 10%
  F 11%
  G  3%

Here are some more (unverified) numbers in parts of the IETF:

  A  0%
  B  8%
  C  6%
  D  8%
  E 12%
  F 11%
  G 11%

It is not a matter of whether gender issue is important or whether it should be the first issue. What matters is who will put in the effort.
