::::I support the comment of eikes. Elections every 6 months should be fine, but a member should be able to stay in the council 6 months, and wait another 6 months to subscribe for elections. -[[User:Benjozork|Benjozork]] ([[User talk:Benjozork|talk]]) 21:29, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

:{{oppose}} I think the power structure should actually be flipped. If the goal of the community council is to represent the community as a whole, it should be the body that gets the most power (i.e. a voting, representative body) over the project leaders (a single or two individuals that doesn't necessarily represent the whole community in all cases). The community council should appoint the leaders and the council should be elected at most-frequently once per year by the community. I would prefer it be elected every two years. I think there should be a procedure for recall of a council member if they are harming the community or something, but I don't see a need for six month elections, that's absurd in my opinion based on our size and current needs. Back to my power point, the leaders could easily abuse that power of overturning a council decision wherever they wanted; them doing so (and I'm not saying they would, I would trust Kudu and Dusti with my first born child) would make the community council useless and powerless. The council should be able to overturn their decisions over a majority (or two-thirds, even) vote. I've been in situations before with a similar system '''in theory''', but it ended up being a complete bureaucracy with one individual making all of the decisions leaving the rest of us powerless. I appreciate your consideration of my above points, -- <font color="blue"><b>[[User:Joe G|Joe G.]]</b></font> ([[User_talk:Joe G|Talk]]) 22:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
