Add SCS-0005-v2 project governance standard

[berendt]

Add version 2 of the project governance standard. Compared to v1, this version adds the "Conflict of Interest and Organizational Diversity" section which ensures:

• No more than one board seat may be held by individuals from the same organization
• Rules for handling multiple top-ranked candidates from the same organization in elections
• Process for resolving conflicts when board members change their organizational affiliation during their term

@berendt Imho this makes sense. Can we merge this effort with #1030 ?

Yes, that was also Jan's suggestion. I just wasn't sure how best to work on it. I'm still working on your comments. If the content here is okay, I would suggest we add #1030 here as a commit afterwards and close #1030?

I noticed two points:

• If a change of affiliation happens and the affected members can not agree on who is to stay and who is to go, it seems like a major crisis to me, and I'm not sure if the board still has the necessary trust to proceed;
• According to the text, if one spot is vacated and cannot be filled, that seems fine, but if it happens a second time, an extraordinary election is triggered. I think it should depend more on the size of the board, because it can be fewer people to begin with, depending on the number of nominees.

@fkr @garloff Any further change requests from you? I would like to put everything that still needs to be adjusted into a commit.

@berendt: @mbuechse raised couple points in his comment.

Yes. Do you have anything else? I would like to make one commit with all the changes at once.

I tried to incorporate some of the feedback in the last commit.

Thanks Christian, I like the changes. They address my original concerns. I approve this, but my confidence here is rather low, so I hope others will approve as well.
