My understanding of "hard quota", as applied to (for example) selection
to a committee, is that if the committee does not currently meet the
quota and a seat comes up, only people whose selection would contribute
towards meeting the quota are eligible for consideration.

If yours differs, I would be interested to know in what way. However,
since hard quotas are not included in the report, I am more concerned
with getting answers to the questions I put to the group as a whole.

I read that as a proposed justification, rather than a proposed
alternative definition.
