A very good discussion.

How would a one-member-per organisation rule work in reality?

If someone is a very active and respected member of the community with 
all the skills required to judge and discuss a QEP (or other motion) and 
has voting rights. And then gets employed by a company which already has 
someone with voting rights, will his voting rights be withdrawn? I would 
expect that this will have an effect on his choice of employer and could 
impact his engagement within community processes.

Also, how would we deal with loosely coupled groups of developers which 
are legally not an organisation/company but still share business, 
communication and opinions?

Best regards
