It's also completely irrelevant. The council's purpose is to "represent the Maemo community's best interests to Nokia, and to act as a community conduit for Nokia-generated information", none of which applies to this situation which is between the MeeGo community and the Linux Foundation.

Noting also that this thread was started by a current council member, anyone who complains about "the deafening silence of the Council" is obviously trolling and should be ignored if we want to have a constructive discussion.
