Membership on the advisory board is conditional upon approval by the foundation's
board of directors, and the board should also be able to withdraw that approval.
Presumably, this would focus on Gnome-related practices (although I guess there
are a few extreme cases where not-Gnome-related behavior is so extreme that we
wouldn't want to have anything to do with a specific company), and we would work
with companies to try to resolve those problems before we'd need to kick them
off.
