Please help me understand where the missing comma is supposed to be in:

> their Membership Committee has decided to eject from membership all Collabora staff and partners over thirty people who ...

Is it:

1) "eject from membership all Collabora staff and partners, over thirty people ..."

2) "eject from membership all Collabora staff and partners over thirty, people who ..."

:-?

Edit: that's from the article this post leads to: <https://www.collaboraonline.com/blog/tdf-ejects-its-core-dev...>

(Downvoted for asking for legitimate clarification? Seriously? Age discrimination _is_ a real thing, so there's no way of knowing, for lack of a comma, which interpretation was intended.)

Has to be #1, as the blog makes no mention of age restrictions. Ejecting people for being over 30 would be unheard of outside of Logan's Run! (vintage scifi movie)

I read that as they’re ejecting all but 30 people.
