Each Council shall

1. have a quorum corresponding to the simple majority of its members;
2. develop written guidelines to define and explain methods of communicating with that particular Council;
3. <--[Moved from Article 24]--> be empowered to appoint delegates to perform specific tasks for a specific period of time (not more than two years) provide that the responsibility for the actions of a delegate shall always remain with the appointing Council.

4. In the Editorial Council, a number of members corresponding to the quorum shall be Editors while the rest of the members shall be Citizens who are not Editors.

I'm not sure this is a version I'm yet happy with. I'd like to sit with it a bit and see what you all think about it. Russell D. Jones 01:03, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I still think point 4 belongs in Article 28, which is specific to the Editorial Council already. -Joe Quick 04:36, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I think since we don't say how many can be nominated, then there can be as many nominations as there are citizens. There is a clause in interim guidance that sets the initial number of seats, and there is a clause in the referendum section granting power to increase number by two. Russell D.
