I asked for more candidacies because in the bylaws it states that if you have less than 6 candidates, only three get elected. If the bylaws are to be followed (or is it the next time that they will first get in effect?) then the election will be held and 3 people will get elected.

I just submitted my self-nomination to the mailing list,
http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/mae...er/005678.html
We need one more candidate to create a 5-member council. It's still not too late. Come aboard!

election rules[/URL].
There is currently a conflict in the case of exactly 3 or exactly 5 candidates, which will need to eventually be repaired. That will require either a referendum to change the election rules to match the bylaws, or reversion of the bylaws to handle appointment vs extension for the case of exactly 3 or 5 candidates. I suspect the former will happen, since most people dislike the idea of automatic appointment vs extension and an election.

This is an obvious bug in Council rules, but it wouldn't make sense to have a voting if we have 4 candidates but not with 5. In this case, we should vote for a 3 members Council. I hope Jaffa could clarify.

I'm missing verification of your candidature by Woody yet (karma, account age). According to http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Coun...e_declarations (also missing you there) you already should be #5 on the list of candidates for council. Which doesn't mean we couldn't use more candidates, but alas extended nomination period already closed anyway.
I mentioned it from beginning, I'm probably the worst candidate for council since my time to assign to this task is very limited and my diplomatic-fu is weak. So rather than getting separate bodies for council and HF board as ivgalvez suggested, you better consider who's best man for the position no matter if already in HF board or not. In the end that's for sure not me ;-)
cheers
