Woody, we discussed it in the other thread and we agree on the concern.
But, in MC e.V., Council is not a legal entity, it's a committee. And their domain/responsibility/competence now is clearly defined as Representation of the community, Counseling of the Board and to execute all elections.
So from my view, they aren't able to force other things (like TM renewal) since they're not entitled to.

If you still think there's a flaw, please tell me via email.
