Many of your ideas are good ones worth examining closer. > One of the main drivers of our "diversity" problem is the input set of people from which we draw our candidates - it lacks diversity on a number of axes. We've noted this before - that GIGO or rather Conformity In is Conformity Out. I strongly disagree with this. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the better. I looked at the 2020 and 2019 candidates, neither were homogeneous. (I could not look earlier as the website just says "closed" and I couldn't think of an easy mail archive search query to find the list of names.) There was diversity, even if it didn't really show up in the selections.
