What is the actual data here?

The reason I am asking, is it seems to me given the random selection of NomCom members, that as long as there is a diverse pool of NomCom volunteers, we should get a diverse set of people selected to serve.

If there isn’t a diverse pool of NomCom volunteers, that is a different problem and isn’t addressed by this proposal.   That is a serious issue for the IETF and we would be better off discussing how to fix that.
