The full IRC log of that discussion <fantasai> florian: Ted correctly pointed out that we talk about "the Council", but there can be multiple councils, so should be more correct to talk about "a Council" in many cases

<fantasai> florian: no, all councils are temporary, and there might be multiple existing in parallel
