to know about the condition ..... (no translation for your phrase)

Explanation:
Yo sustraería esta parte de la traducción al inglés, es decir, simplificaría el original, que ya está bastante recargado. Por ej, '.. to know about the condition... '

Conocer la condición, a efectos informativos, .... ' me parece una redacción reiterativa y con palabras innecesarias.

for information about

Explanation:
I agree with your suggestion and think the phrase "a efectos informativos" can be avoided, as it is somewhat redundant: if you know it's because you are being informed, therefore something along the lines of "Click/press here for information about the status of each of the members of this Commission" would convey the message clearly enough.

Click here for information on each member of the committee [simplified]

Explanation:
that's what it means.....so for information about is about right...but in the context of the whole sentence I would make it as above.

If this is for a website, concise and short is better in English...for information etc, is too long and complicated
