Comment (by nickm):

 A few proposed amendments to the community council guidelines and
 procedures.  Many of these would require votes.

   * I think people should be able to publicly nominate others for the
 community council; nominees  should be free to decline or accept the
 nomination.

   * Community council deliberations should come with a self-imposed time
 limit, and a policy of what happens if the council cannot reach a
 decision.  A suggested time limit is one month, or two months at the most.
 Possible fallback actions are: "Take no action"; "Declare that they cannot
 come to a decision"; "Choose some mutually agreed upon project member to
 arbitrate and decide";

   * Community council members terms should be somehow staggered or
 arranged to overlap, so that the entire council is not so likely to all
 have their terms end at once.

   * Possibly, unanimity should not be required; best effort unanimity,
 falling back to unanimity-minus-one, may be enough.

   * Possibly, the CC should adopt the policy that the Tor bylaws have for
 absent board members, to survive attendance issues.
