SCS-0005: improve conflict resolution and vacancy rules in v2

- Use objective criteria (election vote count) instead of board vote
  for affiliation conflict resolution to avoid trust issues
- Replace fixed "second vacancy" rule with minimum quorum of 3 elected
  members to account for varying board sizes
- Minor language improvements (inclusive pronouns, grammar)
