Number of council members
As we approach new elections, there is a suggestion to make the number of council members smaller (what is fully within statutes). 15 showed itself to be inconvenient: almost impossible to gather this amount of people at the same time in one place, and irc meetings at least once in a while are essential. Loomio does not always cover it. Suggestion: for next elections to limit the number of seats in council to 9. Attention: President is elected separately and he is the council leader, Treasurer and Secretary may be and may be not council members, this is independent.

@bernhardrosenkranz fired is an excessive word, but automatic processes are good because they are not unfair, there is no favoritism.

@jclvanier thank you Jean-Claude, that is a very precise comment. I guess we should stay with 9.. To my best understanding this Loomio lets it.

"...that becomes harder and takes longer to find agreement.": +1
If I understand well the statutes (art. 9), the president is a member of the council which must have " an uneven number of members". So the number of seats could be 9 or 11, including the president.
