In general I agree with pretty much all your points, but I can't help but feel cynical that the political horse trading that goes on would effectively bar most experts from sitting on comities that they could bring insight to. What I think would be a more workable, but probably just as easily corruptible solution, would be lawmakers directly employing experts. This would hopefully make them more beholden to give good a advice instead of just following a lobbyist agenda, though I'm sure that's just wishful thinking on my part.
