I just noticed an issue: we're now four stewards, who would occupy four seats on the Community Council. However, the Council should usually have an odd number of members, otherwise there would be ties. I guess that, for now, we could get the (Co-)Leaders to settle ties. Anyway, it should be a consensus-based process and there shouldn't usually be 2-2 splits. [[User:Kudu|Kudu]] ([[User talk:Kudu|talk]]) 23:58, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

:Note: I didn't count Addshore because although he's a very helpful staffer and developer, his steward status is mostly honorary at the moment since he doesn't do any steward actions. I'm discussing with Addshore whether he wants to sit on the Council since it will require daily availability. [[User:Kudu|Kudu]] ([[User talk:Kudu|talk]]) 00:19, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
:Another option is to have the leader (if we so chose to appoint only one) not get a vote? Then you have three voting members and a leader without a vote. That's how the board I currently sit on in the offline world works. The chair only gets to vote in certain situations like a tie (if a member is absent leaving us with an even number of people). Not sure how great of an idea that is, but it is an option. -- <font color="blue"><b>[[User:Joe G|Joe G.]]</b></font> ([[User_talk:Joe G|Talk]]) 00:06, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

::That sounds like a possibility in the future, but for now there's no way we can do that and have a one-person or two-person Council. [[User:Kudu|Kudu]] ([[User talk:Kudu|talk]]) 00:19, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
