In my view, what happened to this thread is a real tragedy, and I think that's what Dylan was saying. We started with a concrete suggestion, and sharing research publications about best practices for increasing inclusivity. We found common ground where possible, began to define the parameters of the problem, and began to brainstorm the best way to nudge the mathematical community in the direction of increased inclusivity (whether by an ICM talk or another medium), which most agreed was a laudable goal.
