While I agree that someone in that situation might have such a conflict of
interest, then again,they might not.
It's pretty far fetched to see how someone in Tim's position could possibly have
any conflict of interest (except in a good way for LDraw, and even that's a
stretch)
I think it ought to be a campaign issue, if that. I would support wording that
required full disclosure of who one worked for and that required that any change
in status be disclosed to the membership.
So I note your objection, but I also note that you have not proposed an
alternate wording, unless I missed it.
I'll repeat the pragmatic metric I'm using here. If the wording we arrive at
here excludes Tim from eligibility, given his current employment status, it's
unacceptable to me, and I would vote against ratification.
But that is rather a long way off, I'd rather see if the discussion group is
capable of resolving this issue to everyone's satisfaction.
And if it isn't capable of that? (this speaks to Willie's point) Well, that's
why LDraw needs to move beyond a consensus process to something more formal.
