Kingoddball,
Yup it's too late to apply to be in the Council but do remember that it isn't necessary to be a member of the Council to voice your opinions or participate in any discussions.

All Council meetings are held publicly on IRC and you could join them to participate. Council meetings are also open to everyone so there is no such thing as a non councilor not being allowed to raise things.

I hope you do join Council meetings and consider running for elections in six months
