In the event that more than 40% of the Board's elected membership is 
from one company, how do you bring it down to 40%?

My big concern is that there are many parts of Red Hat which have 
legitimate reasons to want to have some board membership, and having the 
full-timers who are most in the public eye get the popularity vote is 
pretty unfair to people from the RHEL, JBoss, etc. groups who may wish 
to participate.
