I really feel like what you are saying here enters perfectly in the 
Saturday daily agenda for example:

    *
      *Overview of women in Mozilla *

1. Typology of the contributors (amongst regular contributors, how many 
are women? Who are they and in what different areas do they contribute?)

2. What are their experiences/feelings as women in floss & Mozilla?

3. How can we highlight/promote the women contributors that wish to be


Number 2. -> that's where could enter the brainstorm and international 
conclusions that you are suggesting, as well as the survey deriving from 
those.
