Yes, but the two councils is for these elections only. It does not necessarily mean that Maemo Community Council is permanent or even that it will be included in the elections six months from these elections. Two items to note affecting the current situation:

The contract between Nokia and the Foundation providing for the transfer of the maemo community has been completed after many months of negotiation but it has not yet been executed.

The maemo.org domain has not yet been transferred from Nokia to the Foundation.

The Board suffered a setback with the overlapping resignations of two of three Directors, including Chair, leaving only one Director while two are required to sign the Nokia contract, but the new Board is now up and running and I believe will address these two items in short order.
