It's already in RFC 3777. No more than 2 per company.
BTW, while I understand the spirit of 3777 on this point, I have
always found the restriction somewhat at odds with our belief (hope?)
that we represent ourselves and the best interest of the Internet at
the IETF. In addition, a central ethic (IMO anyway) of the IETF has
always been to honor individualism and independence, so I find it a
bit strange that in the NomCom context we're all just corporate (or
otherwise) drones. All of that said, evidently reality doesn't always
match our ideals, hence clauses like the one you cite from 3777. --dmm
