I have no problem with there being 40 Huawei volunteers. Clearly someone sent round a note saying 'please do this' and they did. And they will get a maximum of two seats as a result. That isn't a diversity problem that I can see. we have frequently had two employees from other companies.
Where I see the problem is that 120-40 = 80. Which is a rather small pool.
I am not a fan of the NOMCON system. Direct election is vastly better in my view because it establishes accountability. But if you are going to have a NOMCON scheme, you need to stick to it and not try to change horses in mid race.

+1. The whole point of having a process like this is that once it's set
in motion, you DON'T change the rules because that would in effect be
gaming the process.
