Imho, RRO only works well if some additional rules are added, to hold from the outset and throughout the process. As a prototype offering:

1. There must be sufficient representative diversity on the committee.

2. No agent on the committee should be allowed to buy/bribe other agents to form a persistent (all powerful) majority bloc.

3. To combat issues with (2) all such blocs should be (re)considered as reduced to single agents with a single vote.

Imho, the situation (2) seeks to combat can happen in the real world, with clear evidence of agents no longer being independent in any meaningful sense; so additional strong requirements for transparency surrounding a process are needed, maybe enforced in the committee charter.
