Hey Sid-
   Thanks for the discussion.  It's a good chance to the new
contributors to get more experience with the ASF.

   Unfortunately, what you propose is not possible in ASF.  As a
meritocracy, ASF does not recognize individual's employers (or lack
thereof).  Merit is earned by the individual and follows them as they
move from organization to organization.  This is true even for
podlings.  Employees of certain organizations are not given extra
power over a project or vote due to their relationship with the
employer.

   ASF does recognize that at times people will be representing their
employer (with my $EMPLOYER hat on, is a common way of expressing
this), but expects that everyone is acting in the best interest of the
project.
