I would love to have a system where company affiliation doesn't matter. It does seem that the DMB only gets harassment when applicants that work for one company do not get approved, so it's not at all clear to me that we have that (this could be either a function of applicants from one particular company being judged unfairly or it could be something else - I've seen many cases of what I thought was an unfair result in the past and only the group with common employment resulted in complaints though). I think that while it's natural for others to have an interest, it's Björn's application and he's the one that should be speaking up if he has questions.
