By 'competence', does the article necessarily require the member-elect to be a professional in the field, or just to be interested in and knowledgible about it?

I'd say having demonstrated ability. I'm still not sure what field I was
nominated in. I assume it's Computer Science. While I do deal with
computers an awful lot at work now, I'm still far from a "Computer
Professional" by most ideas of what that means. However, I have written
an IRC bot to play lojban games, and I'm the maintainer of the jbofihe
package in Debian. (Although only the former was true when I was offered
the position.)

There is no requirement for being a professional in any field, and no kind
of competence in those fields has ever been an issue in practice. More
important is your commitment to the advancement of the language.

I don't think that test has ever been enforced. Even if it was,
surely being well informed would be sufficient, however acquired.
