Isn't so called "mens" categories actually open? The "protected" categories exist because able-bodied men dominate (in the top levels).
After reading the article I'm not clear whether this 'open' category will be a new, separate category, or whether it will replace the 'mens' category (which may be the simpler and more pragmatic approach unless there are complaints).
Pretty clear that it will replace the men's category.
