#### Conflict of Interest and Organizational Diversity
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.
89+
90+
If two or more candidates from the same organization are among the top-ranked choices in an election:
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.
