Most of them, anyway.
The state party has posted the caucus locations for our two candidates to elect delegates to the national convention. I did not see the allocation breakdown, but given the March 1st results I expect a relatively even split. Here they are:

Thank you very much.
CD’s 1-4: Bernie 3, Hilary 3
CD’s 5,7 & 8: Bernie 3, Hilary 4
CD’s 6 & 9: Bernie 4, Hilary 3
PLEO’s: Bernie 6, Hilary 6
At-Large: Bernie 10, Hilary 10
(Grand Total: Bernie 45, Hilary 46)
This much appears to be set in stone. What is a little trickier is the balancing of the entire delegation into 46 female and 45 male delegates. While there are set male/female allocations for each CD, the near 50-50 split across the state means there’s a lot of rounding involved. The answers are a tad more obvious in CD’s 5-9, where the total of 7 delegates forces a division into 4 of one gender and 3 of the other, with the splits alternating by district (i.e. 4 women/3 men in CD 5, 3 men/4 women in 6, &c). So Bernie and Hilary both appear to get 2 women in 5, 7 & 9, and and 2 men in 6 and 8. Presumably, Hilary, by winning those districts gets a second male in 5 & 7, and a second woman in 8, and Bernie gets the extra woman in 6 and man in 9.
For CD’s 1-4, 3 male and 3 female delegates per district must be divided between two candidates who each received (mostly) rather close to 50% of the vote in those districts. To my eye, I would think that the allocations will be 2 women/1 man for Bernie in CD’s 1 & 3, and vice versa for Hilary in 2 & 4 (with each getting a total of 3 delegates in each of those districts), but the math feels a bit like extracting cube roots manually, without a calculator – or even pencil and paper – so I’d be happy to stand corrected if anyone knows better!
Finally, the PLEO and At-large delegates all divide 50-50 by candidates, and then evenly again by gender (plus there will be approximately 6 extra at-large women to balance the excess superdelegates of the male persuasion).

When I emailed Matt Fenlon at the party last night he said we wouldn’t know until the results are officially certified by the SoC (not sure what’s taking so long). Also, are you sure about the extra women to balance the male superdelegates? I know we have gender-balance seats on the DSC, but I’ve been doing national delegate training and that point wasn’t part of the materials we have.
“The Green Papers” did all the math (go to http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/MA-D for the current Massachusetts figures), I just tried to logic it out from there. I also reviewed everything I could lay my hands on in preparation for the delegate trainings I did here, including the somewhat hard-to-find DNC rules & regulations document. Gender balance of the entire delegation is DNC law: the only deviation from exact gender balance that’s permitted is if the total delegation is an odd number, and even there the state’s delegate selection plan is required to account for that in advance. The final gender balance adjustment (at least as far back as the 2004 cycle, when I started going to these meetings) is done through the allocations of the at-large spots. (In 2012, iirc, the female-to-male ratio was something like 18-6, as we had several more male “supers” at the time.)
The final “official” results (even tho there’s likely to be no changes), can not be determined until after c.o.b. today, which is the deadline for receipt of overseas absentee ballots. The SoC would presumably be able to release the certified official totals by early next week.
