In case anybody missed it, there's a dedicated thread, where I already answered foobars questions to my best knowledge.
All board-related info/talk happens in "[Board] Updates on HiFo & MC e.V." thread, please subscribe:

Let's focus on topic: refendum
Do we really want to abolish Council? Then we need to assign their tasks to another (work)group within MC eV, to GA or board.
How would that be helpfull?
Besides that I believe todays' council is doing quite well, from an objective POV, demand for an official community (associated) member representation seems totally legit.

Hopefully a moderator shows some mercy and sweeps some of the OT over here or here ...thedead1440, you still around?
