Here is a first draft of such a policy.

For your convenience, I've integrated it in a revamped list description,
as the policy should be publicly advertised anyhow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: [email protected]

Rationale: (unchanged)

Short description:
  discussions about companies offering Debian support and contributing back

Long description:
  Discussions about the needs of companies that contribute to, offer
  support for, or have other strategic interests in Debian.

  List participation is restricted to representatives of companies that
  offer Debian-specific support or services and that are determined to
  contribute to Debian.

  As an approximation of the above, subscription requests will be
  verified against the following criteria:

  - the requested subscription address should be a company address
    (i.e. its domain name should correspond to a company website)

  - the company should advertise on its website Debian-related support
    or services, mentioning the Debian name or logo, and linking back to
    the Debian website (please provide a link to that page in your
    subscription request)

  - at least 2 Debian project members (AKA Debian Developer) should be
    working for the company (please name them in your request)

  - preferably, the person requesting subscription should be able to
    speak as a company representative, at least for the topics of
    interest of the mailing list
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it matches your requirement of being verifiable, at least as
long we assume some good faith, as I think we should. The first 3 points
are easily verifiable. The last point is not, but it is optional.

Cheers.
