I'm not part of the council, but I think the most important thing is that Nokia promises it doesn't shutdown any public resource related to Maemo or MeeGo without clearly communicating this well in advance (enough time so that people can prepare an alternative, 1 month? 3 months? 6 months?, depends on what is shutdown).

Secondly: Find a solution for the parts that currently can't legally be redistributed, so people can keep using the devices and SDK as they do now after Nokia pulled out. (But the cheapest solution is probably keeping the problematic files hosted by Nokia for a much longer time.)

Planning the actual transition is very difficult if Nokia doesn't help on these two points.
