I beg to differ here and second Ilissa’s comments.  I miss WiT.  Lunch during the meeting worked.  Giving up more of the weekend to travel does not show half the population gathering matters.

It would be interesting to survey the % of attending women who:

    - Would be able to make the mixer.
    - Would not be able to make the mixer due to family commitments.
    - Would not be able to make the mixer due to non-family commitments.
    - Would prefer a different women's meeting format and/or activity.

I think this data would be useful because while some women may voice difficulty with attending the mixer (or wanting a different women's meeting format/activity), it might be premature to attribute that difficulty to all women that would be in attendance.

Understanding where the majority of women lie can help the NANOG PC make better decisions about how to support both the majority and minority of women as it pertains to a mixer or other activity women may like to participate in at or around the conference.
