No, that's a very good point!

I don't have access to information about proposals before I started as
working group chair, and we have not been tracking that. I can go
through our mail archives and figure that out for the past few meetings.
It's not a very big data set, but it's a start.

Since we have more contact with the submitters than with general meeting
attendees, we may also more easily be able to track things like rough
age, country where the person is working, sector of the Internet where
they work (ISP, educational, or whatever), and so on.

I may see if other working group chairs are willing to start tracking
this in a more systematic way across multiple working groups.

Cheers,
