The "provided that..." phrase is unclear....

On first reading, it sounds to me as if the committee is supposed to be made up of one particular woman and any man. But that makes a committee of 1 man and 1 woman -- not 4 women and 5 men.

And many other interpretations of the phrase are possible.

Re-post the problem clearly. (Hint: proper English -- including spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure -- is helpful)
