Putting on my legal hat:
Notice that the draft proposal refers to "the LDraw Community", not the LEGO
community. LDraw stands for LEGO Draw, which is the only time the word LEGO
is used in the entire draft, so I'm not sure where you think that people who
use LDraw for non-LEGO purposes are excluded.

Again, I see no exclusionary content in the proposal.

I guess you would qualify, because of your parts authoring, except that
there seems to be no origanization to stamp your parts as official, so I
guess you can consider that exclusionary. Hmmmm...... Maybe requirements
needs to be guidelines, because as you point out, there are always
exceptions to the rules.
I'm not a person that likes to hide behind rules personally. I think that
Wayne Gramlich is more than qualified to be on the LSC, because he is
extremely technical and also has a lot of experience on standards committee.
According to the draft proposal I guess he doesn't quality.
