There is no specified limit on the number of positions or committees any member can stand for. You can only be elected to the Federal Council, ALDE Delegation and another Committee (either Federal Board, Federal Policy Committee, Federal Conference Committee, Federal International Relations Committee). If you stand for multiple committees and are elected, you will then be disqualified from any other committees left to count.
The order of counting of the Committees, is as follows: Federal Board, Federal Policy Committee, Federal Conference Committee, Federal International Relations Committee. So if you stand for all four and are elected to the Federal Board, you will be disqualified from the Federal Policy Committee, Federal Conference Committee and Federal International Relations Committee.
