It would also be helpful to provide metrics and measurable outcomes that can be used to assess how effective a proposed change has been. More women (or any other under-represented group) on the nomcom may well be a very good thing. But how does that get determined? How do we measure success or failure? For some definition of those terms.

Thanks, Jim. The draft includes a citation to that literature. In the 
draft I mention that we do not have a habit of tracking gender, but it 
is self reported. Do you think this document should be the place where 
those metrics and pass/fail outcomes are defined?
