Every attendee should have "at least one" woman with the qualifications to attend. Unfortunately, many Davos attendees would likely struggle to find more than one woman with both the experience and the authority today. My preference would have been for Davos to announce a timetable for increasing the quota to 40%. That would force participants to make sure they were addressing the pipeline and promotion issue.

I agree completely. Further, the recruiters that "can't find" a diverse slate of candidates need to look harder. It is striking how permission is given to suspend business logic when it relates to diversity. Bravo Charlotte!!! I agree completely.
