The only change made between the last posting of the document to the

Jacob's edits still leave some ambiguity - is that what we want? If in
the future there is a candidate who's eligibility is questioned, who
makes the final decision for eligibility?

Is the ambiguity in the word "professional"?  Ok, so if we say "No
employee of TLC..." does that correct the problem?

No, the point is to make a distinction between employees who have influence on
strategy decisions within the company, and low-level employees who do not.
Example, I currently work part time at a LEGO store, while attending school. I'm
not involved with strategy decisions, and to make such a blanket statement in
the bylaws would disallow me as a candidate to the Steering Committee.

I have the support of several community members to stand for election. I don't
believe my position in the Company is any conflict of interest to LDraw.org.
However, in the future, should I advance, it might pose a conflict - and at that
time my involvement on the Committee should be re-evaluated.
