I was one such vote. I did so because I've seen what trying to integrate Council into a legal body can do from my experience with HiFo. I still believe that nothing good can come from mingling a legal entity with a non-legal entity. Council has a non-authenticated membership which can hold no legal liability, and integrating them legally is frankly a bad idea.

Had the vote gone "no" Council would still exist, and would make it's rumblings known to the e.V. in the same way it did to Nokia, with about the same legal power. The difference being that the e.V. would at least publicly respond to such things and may even try to address and fix things brought up by Council from the community.

Since I'm not part of the e.V., nor an EU citizen, all I can do is wish you well at this point. I never again wish to be involved in a legal establishment with elements that have no legal liability for their poor choices.
