Dear Johannes,
thanks for your questions, tah I'll answer below from my personal 
perspective:

I know that it won't be easy to find a solution for this one, but I think we should address it in one way or the other...

This is a great hint, I guess we just missed to articulate anything 
about this. From my part I always was assuming, that any new Board would 
replace the "current Council" but others might have another opinion?!

> - At first glance, it seems that the first proposal triggered most feedback. Would it be a correct observation that most in the community prefer this over the other two _in principle_, but still would like to clarify some details about it? Please don't get me wrong -- I don't want to get rid of the other two proposals, I just want to get a sense of where we are drifting. If you think my impression is wrong (which is perfectly possible), please disagree -- either here on MEI-L or in the document linked above. If you like the other proposals (or aspects of them), please speak up -- the sooner the better. Please remember that the google document gives the possibility of anonymous feedback, if you prefer.

Getting a feeling if general tendencies towards one of the proposals 
would be indeed very interesting! Nevertheless the comment frequency is 
not to be taken as general tendency towards one or the other... for 
example Raffaele shared a quite good argument for Model B over this list:

Maybe we should try come up with a general pros-and-cons list for each 
Model?


Thanks,
Benjamin
