I strongly object to a blanket exclusion. I do not believe every position would
pose a conflict of interest.
Here is a thought: What about instead of having an exclusionary clause, require
that if someone is employed by TLC, there be disclosure of that person's
employment status on LDraw.org x amount of time prior to the election? Require a
footnote to be added to the final list of nominees and/or ballot that notes who
is employed by TLC, what their title is, and a summary of their responsibilities
and powers.
Make measures to ensure the community is reasonably informed, and then let the
community decide on a case-by-case basis who they trust to lead LDraw.org.
