I think your understanding of quota differs from mine.
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.
When the majority do not include diversity, quota are often the only solution. It by no means prevents those with the majority aspects from being included.
I read that as a proposed justification, rather than a proposed alternative definition.
