Well, I guess any "non-majority" person, but I was thinking specifically of women ONLY because I'm a woman and I'd be willing to do something as far as coordinating. And possibly two or more non-location based chapters (i.e., one for gender, one for PoC). And I wasn't really thinking of a separate conference (though that would be cool, but no one can afford more than one conference these days, can they?) but an additional meeting at the main con AND a separate e-mail list. But I'm just throwing that out as venues that would be attractive/encouraging to me and things I know that I could do right now.

Sounds possibly interesting. Other than a word, what would that be exactly, and what would be the goals of it? Do you mean a different conference, or listserv, or what?
