Note that "affiliation" in the Foundation membership sense may
completely differ from the company you are currently working for. Those
are different things.

For example, the bylaws say contractors are "affiliated" to any company
they worked for which gave them more than $60K of revenue over the last
12 months. They might be contributing patches on behalf of a new
company, but until it gives them 60K$ worth, they are not "affiliated"
to that company. Contractors can also be affiliated to more than one
company at a time, if they are lucky. Other rules affect board members
of multiple companies.

Affiliation is defined by rules in the bylaws to ensure director
diversity. It's not "the company you're currently working for", even if
in most cases it looks like it.
