I think you have to withdraw the new rule, and accept that all ten will have
the same gender that year.

(Geek question: What would happen with today's rule, if *all* volunteers
were from four large companies, such that the maximum-2 constraint could
not be satisfied? That won't happen, but it illustrates why over-constraining
the criteria could get us into a dead end.)
