The rule in question is small and simple, and altering it in the Process

be beneficial for the AB to get into the habit of making such small,
well-defined changes to the Process on a regular basis (whenever required).
The rules in question is defined here:

One obvious solution is to drop one or more constraints. More focused
alternatives that may be worth considering:
1) Increase the limits to two. Addresses the two recent, and one not so
recent (tbray) cases. Keeps these groups fairly diverse.
2) Change the constraints to only be evaluated at appointment/election
time, thereby allowing anybody who was previously elected to complete
their term. Also addresses the known cases. While it doesn't place an
upper limit on company participation, it does effectively put a strict
time limit on deviations from the policy.
Personally, I don't see a need for these constraints; but like Robin I
share a preference for small, incremental changes.
