Can you (or someone else) be more specific about how our process for our other
elections don't meet these requirements? If we don't know what's wrong, we
can't fix it.

Two questions:

Does this mean "affiliation" in the same sense as it did on the form for
joining the foundation (which allowed for affiliation with multiple companies)?
If so, how does being affiliated with more than one company affect this
restriction?

Also, what happens if a board member moves to a different company during their
term on the board?
