Hi, 

I saw the email with a call for gender bias studies in the DNS sector. I don't know of any studies that fit those criteria perfectly, but this work by Moran and Bui might be of interest:

It looks at the obstacles faced by marginalized communities of colour when attempting to intervene in telecommunications discussions, including those related to ICANN.

There is also _a lot_ of great work on exclusion, bias and sexism in technical spaces like hackathons and gaming, which might be interesting to consider?  

 
Kind regards,
