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.
