If the selection committee doesn't represent a diverse field, a blind review can still be biased. I write things in a way I find compelling, other people that find them compelling are likely similar to me.

The selection committee should only be "diverse" in so far as it contains a mix of people who understand what makes a good Electron topic and a people who understand what topics make good conference presentations.

If in fact, the goal is to out on an enjoyable conference on the topic of Electron.
