Quick reply...

The problem raised here is that General Assembly =!= Maemo Community.

General Assembly is very small (since people are only starting to fill in application forms). The friction between Maemo Community as a whole (members of *.maemo.org) and e.V. as a new body will decrease, with time, as GA will approach, in its membership, the community at *.maemo.org. Until one or two years pass, it does not make any sense to even begin to change anything about the board, or the council; simply because the board will be recently established, and lack reputation-trust amidst wider community.

And even later, the community will not want to _abolish_ the Council; they may wish to merge the Board and the Council, though, if the members of Council and Board are (almost) the same people.

Best wishes.
