An organization may have any number of alternates, however only the principal
may vote -- unless the principal is absent, in which case only one of the
alternates may vote.

You may indeed represent yourself, but not if you are an employee of a company
with an official representative.  For example, Jonathan Shopiro is the
AT&T representative.  That means that Bjarne Stroustrup may not vote at the
ANSI meetings, because he is an employee of AT&T.  He cannot even represent
himself at the meetings.

Of course he can speak all he wants to, and sometimes people even listen! :-)

And because Bjarne and I are both alternates (which is how I know the number
is not restricted to one), if Jonathan is absent, we get to decide which of
us will vote that day.
