The rules in question is defined here:

http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/organization.html#AB-TAG-constraints

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.
