The main issue here is that because of HiFo's by-laws, SD69 was claiming that the current Council is the Maemo Community Council with no powers over HiFo.

By bringing MCC in line as HiFo Council, such arguments become void and the Council remains as before only now it definitely has the power to call for elections for HiFo's Board. There will still be only 1 Council acting for the Community not multiple Councils.

Along the way there are 2 proposed amendments too that if there are less than 5 candidates then a new election is called but the amendment seeks to make it if there are even exactly 5 candidates, not all become unelected appointees. Similar for a situation of 3 candidates.

Think of this referendum as a way to iron out any loopholes in Council regulations so that Council always remains on the side of the Community and isn't hijacked by a few vested interests
