I am curious exactly where all the concern and worry is coming from...
Win7Mac spelled it out pretty clearly and succinctly..

"...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...."

A committee whose purpose is to be the voice of the mcev ...
which is everybody who wishes to join... and be active and have their vote matter ...

[and before anyone jumps in with the same old story here..] mcev isn't a covert, secret society or old boys club...anyone can join...being a "poster" in the forum just doesn't cut it....attending meetings..listening to the issues does show a modicum of effort to be a force for positive change and growth....
.anyone on the planet can bitch and complain and grieve from the comfort of their easy chair whenever the mood pleases them...in the forum....
as well multiple accounts by a single person in forum can be made...making any voting done via "forum members" ..corrupt.....
Individuals desiring being members and retaining anonymity ..forget it...
I do believe we should have the right to safety and security from whatever unknown threat.....
so make the list of members real names only visible to one another...
and / or otherwise difficult or impossible for the general public to view...
But we cannot have total anonymity....even from one another....that is just pure madness...
