If they met the NomCom eligibility requirements by being a _registered
attendee_ for the requisite number of meetings, then yes. After all,
they operate an organization that uses some of the protocols we
develop and might have technical input into working groups related to
the web, or authorization, or messaging; in those cases they might
well choose to attend and participate as individual technical
contributors. If they attend only as staff, then I don't think the
situation is the same, and perhaps we need to clarify 3777 to say that
the confirmation of attendance include a confirmation of registration
(though I have always assumed this was included in the confirmation of
eligibility).
As you may recall, when Neustar provided this service we had other
folks from Neustar who remained technical contributors (and held IETF
leadership positions). I honestly don't recall if any of them served
on the NomCom as well, but a blanket prohibition on Neustar folks
serving would have seemed wrong to me at that point.
