Obviously Nokia's - who else has a set of functional requirements for the OS?

Well, I'm not going to argue with you over this one, but I fail to see what this has to do with the Council at all. People (including the Council) are fed up with Nokia's handling of Maemo (since well before Fremantle), and (more recently) of the N900 in particular. The Council has no say over that whatsoever though (except by passing the community's views on to Nokia).

Rethinking over what, and by whom? If you have some fantastic ideas, make them known, stand for Council, write to Nokia, just don't keep on whining about how bad things are. And in what way has maemo.org failed (in any major ways - the continued lack of SSO could be pointed out as a failure, but that's just a minor niggle)? The site functions, the forums maintain a (generally) polite and fair level of discussion, the wiki provides all sorts of useful information, the bug tracking system is as useful as Nokia allow it to be.
