I think the Council idea is great. However, I think the Council should be charged with a little bit of direction-setting and leadership as well.

This project needs some leadership, as the events of the past few months show fairly clearly.
Agreed. We could decide we do not elect the council members based on their coding skills or any other type of technical skill. But instead have the nominees do some campaigning before the elections, and make direction-setting propositions for the coming year. Another thing that bothers me is the possible overlapping between council members, trustees and devrel. I wouldn't mind at all that any dev could only be one of these at most at the same time. I know that resigning from a position won't end the relationship between you and your ex-fellow devs from the group you've just quit, but at least functionally the link doesn't exist anymore. Plus, taking into account that we have a life outside of gentoo, and that these functions are the critical ones, having only one of these positions means a better chance to be efficient.
