Ok, we found out a board election committee means unwanted admin overhead and is somewhat hard to put into practice, so we settled for this option: .
I have updated the relevant documents:

They alreday had a first review by an attorney and are now being finalized in conjunction with him, so some minor edits still may occur. For now, we're looking into how to instate the council without the need for regular elections. But all basic things are set. The most pressing issue now is to get a decent english translation that we can publish so all founders can review them. Your help is highly appreciated.

Another thing that needs to be mentioned is that this transition comes with quite some costs. But unfortunately, we don't have much choice since Woody resigned. We'd be lucky if dissolving the US foundation (incl. filing taxes for 2012-2014) and registering the e.V. incl. notary fees, attorney, postage, (translator?) will not exceed 1000 €. We really don't like to see money being eaten away by such costs and all our efforts go towards keeping those as low as possible. But we believe this money is well-spent in order to provide vital grounds for our community, especially for active members. Rights will be shifted towards Council and regular members, which will hopefully lead to a better relation between council and board.

Unfortunately, because of the translation issue, the announced date (tue, march 04) for the kickoff meeting will hardly be sustainable. Shifting it a few days is no problem though as long as we can agree on a new date. But we're still lacking at least one more founder. And in order to keep delays and risks through postal service minimal (bylaws have to be originally signed by every founder), we are aiming to find nearby mates. So far, founders reside in Kaiserslautern and Hamburg in Germany, and Helsinki or Järvenpää in Finland. Ever wanted to meet a fellow in your area? - Here's your chance... Would be nice to also have one or two "spares" at hand, in case someone won't be able to make it.
If you're a well-known contributor on maemo.org and are able to support the movement as a director or founder, please step up.
