Quick reply...

As shawnjefferson helpfully explained, Board would delegate tasks to volunteers. Not that different from what is happening now?..
Bylaws... It will be very helpful when all the e.V. documents are on Wiki in English. Maybe, I am asking for too much, but feeding the text to Google translate each time, and digging into the broken-English to understand the meaning of this or that, it tiresome.
Especially, it is confusing when it was previously said that e.V. can easily function without a council, and 'lets keep e.V. lean, aka no council' and 'there are not going to be that many members in GA of e.V., given that there are not that many people actively participating in TMO politics (83 voters in the last election)'.

I guess it's time to step up Star Wars propaganda (from a simple 'skywalker' tag), to distract readers from arguing over 'lost in translation' nuances...
Jedi Code : There is no emotion, there is peace.There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.There is no passion, there is serenity.There is no death, there is the Force.
Sith Code : Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.
Mine : There are emotions and passion in present, and there is goal of peace and serenity in the future. The knowledge is a seashore, with shells and dead animals stranded on it; the depths of ocean of ignorance hide the monsters yet unseen. The death is non-existence, as incognizable as emotionless peace and passionless serenity. Passion gives more than strength and power, and neither of the three guarantees victory. The only chains imposed on you are those which you impose yourself, and they can never be broken, only changed to accommodate your own changes. The Force is a concept unknown, which should be questioned at every moment, like nature is questioned by a scientist, like society and morals are questioned by a philosopher, instead of depending on it.
The words about seashore and ocean seem to be a paraphrase of the half-forgotten quote of Isaac Newton: "I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

Best wishes.
