Does this mean that we must be fanatically devoted to the Pope? I don't think that's going to work for me. Can I be fanatically devoted to Henry Wessel instead?

Does the new Council expect to utilize the Star Chamber for the upcoming inquisitions?
well my vote is to utilize items such as the iron maiden, garotte, and the heretics fork.... the milder of the instruments
This is the issue. The problems that APUG has are nuanced, generally not requiring banishment or the inquisition. It is rare when we have multiple long flaming threads. The days of cliques and packs of marauders appears to be over -- and it was never that bad.
What the council will (probably) do is act as a steering committee and an advisory board. Their mere presence in a thread may be enough to keep people on an even keel. Where there are problems with a member or members they will help define a course of action.

I wouldn't worry about that aspect of it, Cate. You did take notice of which two women they are, of course - I'm hoping the men aren't feeling outnumbered, frankly. 
Sean, I've long wondered how you've managed so well with such a small team. I've no doubt that this move was a long time in the making, and can't help but think it's going to prove invaluable for the site.
Congrats to the council members, one and all!

Yes absolutely, and I should add my support goes for sure to ALL the members
Whatever gender they are They have two excellent members to learn from And it was only the ratio I was thinking about, certainly not the choices, which are all great Seriously... as I said in my first post, this is an excellent idea - a pleasant environment for all makes all the difference to visiting a site, and continuing to visit. And thanks in advance for the huge amount of time and commitment I appreciate is involved from all concerned.

I do think that the two who will be representing the female contingent here on APUG will do a fine job. Hell, BWGirl is outspoken enough for all of us!

Good move, great choices.
This brings up some other important concerns. Who among the council is left handed and who is right handed? More importantly, who is right eye dominant and who is left eye dominant? What are the members' ethnic and religious backgrounds and political leanings? What about the split between color and B&W materials? Any brand loyalties? How come no one on the council is from Wyoming!? Who's going to speak for MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?!?

PS - Looking forward to you folks doing a fine job!

Is this an accurate reflection of female:male membership? What is the ratio?
Slightly off topic but pertinent to our future what is the membership in say each 10 year age group and are we picking up younger members or slowly ageing.
If 80% of us is already, say, 50+ then if Sean is say mid 30's he's better look for alternative employment and nominate the last( youngest) one to turn off the lights.
pentaxuser - who's just completed his Positive Thinking course.
Now, now boys, it was just a point made in good heart
No harm bearing these things in mind, & I'm certainly not suggesting any changes, so don't get excited
I never was a Big Sister, maybe I should have been
edit: posted before Pentaxuser - actually I was wondering about the membership ratio thing but I couldn't work out either if it fitted or if it mattered so I gave up

Well, being the right-handed white heterosexual male I am, perhaps the only way I can argue to being a minority is that my native language is not English? Will you still like me?

An excellent selection, Sean! I thoroughly approve!
(...and I shall, of course, deny ever making this post when faced with (at least!) two of these reprobates, ahem, I mean "esteemed councillors" at the next APUG UK Gathering! )

As a participant in one of the more recent train wrecks, this might be the best idea of all.
I applaud this effort by Sean and the others and wish the new team the best of luck

Reminds me of a quotation I saw recently. Can't remember it exactly or who said it, but paraphrased it is "To be thought of as good as a man, a woman has to be twice as smart. Fortunately this is not difficult."
Of course that's not true, in spite of what my wife says
Fear not, cate!
It sure does in you and SR.
