The problem (IMNSHO) is that, statistically, if you (company)
have a large enough proportion of the pool, you have a pretty much
guaranteed probability of having 2 members. If you have 2
members for every nomcom, you can have a disproportionate impact
in the overall composition of the leadership of the IETF over
time.
FWIR, Huawei has had 2 Nomcom members for most of the last 5-8 Nomcoms. Cisco, Ericsson and Juniper have also had substantial representation.
That may represent personal diversity, but it does not represent commercial diversity.
