Exactly. And if Council decides to hire a hitman to get rid of you, that'd be illegal. But if Council decides to rent a Datscha for their next meeting or, let's say rent some obscure servers for backup services for 50€/month, that wouldn't be nescessarily illegal, but still Board has to sign responsible for it. Hope you finally get it too.

That's why Council as Communitys' representative is part of the eV and why there is § 7 (5): "The Board of Directors executes the Council's and General Assembly's rulings." If Board should be forced/obliged to do exactly what Council tells them to do, consequently Council needs to be a part of the eV. A Council completely detached from the eV and being able to force Board into anything is not an option AT ALL.

What's needed is a clarification which rulings can be made by Council and which by General Assembly.
