So who are the members of this commission, and who picks them?

According to the actual amendment:
Two judges are selected from the state district courts of appeals, one affiliated with republicans, one affiliated with democrats, and both having the most senority within their respective parties. They each nominate the first 2 members.
Those 2 members select the remaining 3 members: "one or all three of whom shall not be affiliated with any political party and no two of whom shall be affiliated with the same political party."
That makes it 2 republicans, 2 Democrats, and they have to pick a tie breaker whose "supposed" to be an independent.
The independent seems to be like a trying to find the right supreme court nominee. It still sounds like it will help take away some corruption (gerrymandering).
Nothing is going to be perfect. (See Section2-B-1 of admendment for full detail)
