Members of the Parliament have legal responsibility for what they do, where Council members doesn't have any (nor can have, even if they wanted to). Board DO have legal responsibility.

Council is not Parliament - it is volunteer team keeping streets and toilets clean, if you pardon the comparison. No legal risk, yet the same (aka 0) power The pompous name "Council" is one of the reasons why people still miss this basic truth, and one of the reason why I think we should rid of this "legacy"' altogether.

You have been sitting under the rock for last two years? Ask juiceme, he will have some "nice" stories for you. For a "teaser" - from top of my head - "infamous" joerg tried to force Board into using his unreliable hosting service and pay for it, when reliable and FREE alternative was present.
