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.
Two.
There is no legal requirement to have a council in an eV.

Nobody is asking anyone to do anything illegal. Transitioning from "eV with council" to "eV without council" or any other kind of transition can be accomplished in a completely legal way, even if council or whatnot is mentioned in the bylaws. I'm sure you are aware of this.

And Nokia frowning (is that a legally binding term? what's the legal consequences of someone frowning over something?) over an eV without council... Is there a clause in any of the agreements with Nokia that states something to the effect of: "if you ever transition HiFo to a German eV, make sure there is a council installed in that eV, even if you see no need for a council!"
I don't think so.

If there was something mentioned in those agreements that requires a "council" and which board felt would need to be followed, there could be a 'working group' created within the community (NOT a body of the eV) called "council".
