I showed the relevant parts - and don't forget John was posting on a thread about gender balancing on a Ceroc weekender! Of course he's always going to suggest that they do the same, but despite that, it was clear from his post that they had no published policy on gender balancing at the time Ceroc took a stand on it. It was also clear from the thread that no members of the dance community seemed to be aware of a policy regarding gender balancing either. 'Tried to maintain a gender balance' and 'having a reasonable balance' is not the same as having a published policy on the issue. That's not to say people didn't enjoy their weekenders back then, but I think it's very easy to assume all sorts of things with the benefit of hindsight and rose tinted glasses...
So, I'm glad to say I was right all along..
Ceroc were the first company to champion gender balancing on weekend events and to publish this fact.
