That was not my impression.

First they are trying to gauge how many want to participate, and 
possibly looking at the proportionate mix.

Then, if they need to start culling the herd, the have information on 
why we want to attend and whether the prospective attendees intend to 
contribute or just kibitz.

It also gives them the ability, by looking a diversity gaps, to know 
where they need to do more outreach. I don't know if they are planning 
that, but it would seem a reasonable thing to do.  At least to me.
