| 85 | + |
| 86 | +To ensure balanced representation and avoid conflicts of interest, no more than one seat on the SCS Project |
| 87 | +Board may be held by individuals affiliated with the same organization, company, or employer at any given |
| 88 | +time. This limitation applies to both elected seats and the seat filled by the delegate of the Forum SCS-Standards. |

| 91 | + |
| 92 | +- Only the highest-ranked candidate from that organization will be elected. |
| 93 | +- The remaining seat(s) will be filled by the next highest-ranked candidate(s) from different organizations. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +If an existing board member changes their organizational affiliation during their term, resulting in multiple board |
| 96 | +members from the same organization, one of the affected members must resign their seat. The affected members may mutually |
| 97 | +agree on who will resign. If no agreement can be reached within 30 days of the affiliation change, the SCS Project Board |
| 98 | +will decide by majority vote which member shall retain their seat. A replacement will be determined according to the most |
| 99 | +recent election results, selecting the next eligible candidate from a different organization. |
