I have to respectfully disagree. We do not know this chapter nor it's history. It is entirely possible that they simply could not generate the return numbers to ensure quota. That is, say the PNMs could attend 2 prefs. They would need to have 2-1/2 quota attend their party to be sure they got quota. Anything less than that and it lessens exponentially. And PH should not keep women from pledging if they have a bid simply because one group cannot acheive quota unless it so low as to have it said that it was set so that group could "pledge quota." The other groups would still have taken way more women as there is no cap on QAs under RFM.
