Petition 80160 has just passed at the General Conference, with several amendments (one of which is here). Another amendment that was added from the floor states that, rather than a 50-50 clergy/laity ratio, out of 24 members there will be 3 clergy from the local church and 3 laity.
As a layperson who would be interested in serving on this committee at some point, I don’t like my reduced odds after this latter amendment.
