We very nearly had (some might say should have had) 2 from the same
company in the other team as well. The one downside to imposing limits
of the type you suggest is that it takes some power away from XSF
members (who know who they are voting for) and puts it in the hands of
the companies themselves (who might be able to extert a lot of influence
over which of their staff members stand for election in a limited field).
How would your suggestion cope with a situation where (highly unlikely I
know) half the members of an already elected Council except job offers
from Google? Would a number of them be kicked off the Council if a
sufficient number of them didn't volunteer to leave?
Will.
