You might be new to GC, but you've been around enough to know what you're talking about! Very intelligent post, SuthrnBell -- welcome!
I agree with most everything you've said. I also would add that if I was a member of the selection committee -- I'd look at how many LOCAL alumnae the group has -- and how many are there for the presentation & would be willing to serve as advisors, etc.
These extension "dog & pony shows" can be quite impressive with slick videos & PR brochures and a room full of balloons, but the fact of the matter is that you need good local people ALONG with a strong inter/national support to pull it off.
