This doesn't address the problem, it only moves it. These kinds of panels already exist in many countries on many topics -- I've worked with several. In all cases, the selection of the panel and the positions they take have political motivations. They are never constructed as a random sample of domain experts. Even when trying to achieve that appearance, "domain expert" is defined so as to justify the exclusion of many inconvenient domain experts from consideration. None of which should be surprising, since this is basic human nature.
Indeed, the functional purpose of these kinds of panels, based on what they actually do, is to lend an air of authority to decisions that were made politically. For the participants, they are paid in prestige, which is a valuable currency.
