No, three: board, GA, council. See the signed and approved-by-court MCeV bylaws and HiFo bylaws. Tell me how "dismissing the Council" is going to work with this. "shouldn't hinder us in any way" and the ones you voted into positions supposed to act illegal? Don't forget Nokia will frown at this, they rely on the bylaws of any entity inheriting the stuff are warranting that no rogue stuff is done with the maemo trademark etc. HiFo/MCeV now acting like there's no rules at all will convince Nokia that such entity isn't trustworthy.

On a sidenote referring to some former criticism:
""At a bare minimum, the skin, the logos, and the linkages with other systems that are custom to this site (including Karma) are still under LPGL""
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_(media) (nobody but OP said content = software)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_content
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_(computing)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_(computer)

http://maemo.org/legal/terms_of_use/trademarks/logos/ !! ""Maemo.org logos are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License.""
The OP's reference to "LGPL" is completely inapproriate here since 1) doesn't apply to content and 2) the LGPLed linked software doesn't establish any licence whatsoever for the linking software. (but maybe that's what he tried to say? No idea. And also irrelevant since the linking software been a maybe 400 lines of [publicly available via SVN?] php code that he claims he edited 3 of them (and did _not_ fix karma by that), but ignores that I said techstaff edited and replaced way more than that, during the 99% of time he's not been around and thus not witnessing what been done.) OP also seems to insinuate that I doubted if Nokia was allowed to hand over maemo to HiFo. That's obviously nonsense, of course Nokia was allowed to do so. What I said is community was and is allowed to use all that stuff without Nokia's consent. So Nokia has nothing to 'sell' to HiFo, except of the hw, trademark and the domain. Nevertheless it's of course nice when Nokia explicitly grants HiFo permission to use all of maemo.org server data (executable and content), no matter if such permission is legally needed or not.
