I support not having more than one board member from the same 
organization. It's probably not practical to make this an AoA requirement.


As someone who has a professional connection to OSM, I'd go farther and 
say that most board members shouldn't have any professional connection 
to OSM. We're a crowd-sourcing project, and most of the crowd isn't 
doing this for a job.
