What is the exact definition of "affiliation" in IETF?

Quoting from RFC3777:

"Rather than defining precise rules for how to define "affiliation", the IETF community depends on the honor and integrity of the participants to make the process work."

As a community, we recognize that this could easily be gamed, and we expect each other to behave reasonably.

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?

As a first pass answer, it's whatever the consultant would normally show on a meeting registration badge. Typically, I'd expect X. But the degree of funding is as extreme as you describe, it might still be appropriate to step aside if two persons from Y are also chosen (or ask one of them to step aside).
