What is the exact definition of "affiliation" in IETF?
If a consultant who runs his/her own consulting company X is paid by
his/her customer company Y for his/her IETF activities including
NOMCOM activity, then what is his/her affiliation?

Sorting that list by affiliation and counting the number of names from each affiliation, the volunteer list as of Monday included:
16 Huawai
15 Cisco
13 Ericsson
9 Juniper
5 ZTE
4 Nokia/Siemens (debatable; see details)
3 Alcatel-Lucent
3 BBN
3 China Mobile
3 CNNIC
2 Time Warner Cable
1 (22)
Total: 98
Observations: the top four companies on this list have contributed more than half of the NomCom volunteers. The top three have contributed twice as many (44) as all of the entities that contributed only one (22).
A good thing is that the "one" category is still the largest.
Without arguing against you regarding this being something one should keep an eye on.
