Legally, the Council can not sign hosting contracts, nor can it do anything really, not being a legal entity. That's the entire point of creating this entity...
Also note this.

Maybe it would be better to specify that the next candidate with more number of votes might be able to access to Board
if a majority of Board agrees.
I think it's a complex issue with many different cases to consider, and at some point there has to be a fallback of "new election for the vacant position(s)".

According to this mail:
http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/mae...er/005648.html
...it seems, that Council is not going to ask for Community approval of bylaws (via referendum). It's getting more and more interesting, to say at least. Well, for sure, it means that one should keep increased caution about Council's will to fix "backdoor" things, (like unelected directors, mentioned by lma), as there is no chance to fix - or deny - it later.

Maybe, but what if the next candidate is not available, or there is no next candidate?
Another issue is that with a seat already vacant we have an even-numbered board so it's very easy for the board to not have a majority opinion. And with the first board being a 3-member one that's even more likely.
I think it's a complex issue with many different cases to consider, and at some point there has to be a fallback of "new election for the vacant position(s)".
With a one year term, we can say there will be an election if more than x months remain in the term. Then what should X be? 6, 9 or 3?
