If say, for example, we have three candidates who are employed by the ABC Company, then only two of them could be on the Board if all three won an election.
And that 40% is ONLY for elected members of the Board. The chairman of the board is not beholden to that rule. He or she is appointed by SUSE. So you could have two (40%) elected board members PLUS 1 appointed board member from SUSE. So, it would be meaningless to set up a voting procedure where you vote for one employee and one non-employee because theoretically everybody is employed somewhere. As a voter, you may vote for as many candidates from the same company as you wish (up to the number of votes you are allowed.) What matters is the overall count of votes from the entire electorate.
Hope that helps, Bryen M Yunashko
As we're discussing this, I realise that the current Election page doesn't mention anyone's employer besides Roberts Should us candidates go ahead and list our employers on this page to properly reflect the policy, rather than just highlighting the SUSE candidates? (which I think we've got wrong on the current list anyhow, isn't Matt also working for SUSE?)
