Could one of the conference organizers provide the totals for two measures to avoid speculation and hearsay: 1. The proportion of women attendees. 2. The total number of unpaid volunteers taking part AND The total number of employees attending as volunteers AND The total number of employees being paid to support the conference. My original question seemed simple to me. These are basic statistics that any Wikimedia conference registration process should be able to provide without compromising anyone's privacy. As has been raised before, giving a figure of "50 volunteers attended this conference" looks peculiar, and potentially misleadingly political, when someone can afterwards point out that 15 out of the 50 were Chapter and Foundation employees or contractors whether they were being paid for their time to attend or not.
