Should we consider changing it to "not more than one" in view

On it's face, that sounds like an absolutely Draconian rule.
However stepping back a bit, it should prompt a simple question: Is the
IETF so reliant on a tiny number of companies that we cannot produce viable
committees if we require each member of a committee to be affiliated with a
different company?
In other words, are we really incapable of requiring extensive corporate
diversity?
Is the great majority of the wisdom in the IETF incorporated into a
few megacorporations?
(That might reflect market share, in which case, is it a problem?)
