I agree with ken and mark dean. Even without discussion, I to think jumps in NT do show extra values, even when you're in a game-force, so this 3NT would be quantitative-ish 8-10 or so hcp and approximately 2-3-4-4 shape. With the minimums and 11+ hands, you would start with 2NT.

What if partner doesn't have the ♣Q? I mean, if he has it, he will know to lead a diamond next time he is in for fear of setting up dummy's jack, and it's hard to see how count can be important to him. From the auction, you could very well have only the ♥J and a minor suit Q in high cards. He needs to know it's not the ♣Q.

8. attitude. it's obvious what to shift to, if not continue clubs. a count doesn't seem important here. but my opinion is somewhat biased.
