SD69: I'm sorry that you think I am against "keeping maemo alive".
We all care, otherwise we wouldn't be here, so please don't try to make it sound like those who aren't in agreement with your ideas just want Maemo to die.
You haven't read the referendum carefully. I will respond on the merits during the debate period (August 22 - September 22).

You must remember, the council / community has no real power here. We're not paying anyone to do anything, the money is coming from Nokia, so we have to be very reasonable and persuasive, not demanding.
(I'm also under the impression that Nemein, maemo staff, community, council etc are all on the same side and Nokia corporate was the only entity needing convincing)

The vote does not happen until more than one month from now. And it can't be pushed because it has to occur within 6 months of the last election. I think it would not violate the rules to push out or shorten the time period for council nominations.

Despite a little "mess" here on the beginning, I'm starting to save money for [whatever].org donation for operating. And I suggest everyone interested in keeping Maemo (under whatever name) alive, to do the same - as I see it's only real option for independent, legal organization.
Back on topic, If i understand correctly, discussion will last for a month, but referendum question will be "frozen" after 4 days? So, discussing about it seems quite non-constructive, isn't it?
Let's have at least 2 weeks for concluding on correct questions for referendum, then, another 2 weeks for discussions it before voting - if vote date is frozen already.

I want a third choice on the referendum:
"[ ] I don't think it is time to make this decision"
And I don't think we should have a vote on the 5 candidate rule, we should just change it so there's always a vote, you can't just become a council member because you nominated yourself.

I think maemo.org can not afford it to wait that much, since it is obvious meego will not wait for it.
Besides, it looks rather depressive when council member of maemo.org pronounces it dead, and proposes delaying the action.
It reminded me of February/2011.
Yeah, I know this too provocative, but still that is the general feeling.
I do agree that there should be no haste decisions, and without actual data on user/developer base.
How about census to determine the characteristics of maemo community?

Why not have a referendum of referendums? The council can agree on the core theme, and then let every community member propose their solutions. Each proposal would be included as a referendum item; those that tackle the same issue would be mutually exclusive in the vote.
