Justin, I was doing the change on the website and I went through the policy again and I was a bit confused.
In the "Who we are" section: https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/linking#whoweare the text says: ``` Should not include corporate affiliations of actual contributors. Committers are expected to participate in Apache projects as individuals, and not as representatives of any employers. Including corporate affiliations on pages that are primarily about the community of individuals on a project can give the wrong impression to new community members about the fact that projects are managed by PMCs of individuals, and not managed by outside organizations. PMCs are free to allow including corporate affiliations, but should be consistent in their policy for all committers. ``` Doesn't the last paragraph means that a PMC is free to decide the policy? (as long as it's either all affiliations or none).
