Other (please elaborate)

Open Questions regarding Structure

Should the Global Council exist only as an executive body or should it exist as an executive body with an advisory board? (See scenarios below)
If the Global Council is an executive body with an advisory board, how are the members of both entities (executive body and advisory board) seated?

With its size, the Global Council must have adequate diversity and clout, but not be so large as to undermine effectiveness. As an executive body, how many members should the Global Council have?
Option 1: 9-13 members

Option 2: 17-21 members

Open Questions regarding Membership

With an intention to ensure fair representation, power balance, and promote diversity and inclusivity within the Global Council, we seek your inputs on the following:

Should there be some imposed limits to the membership in terms of movement representation?

Please share your opinions about potential criteria of such limits:

Should there be a regional cap, e.g. max 3 persons from a single region? If yes, please specify the condition.

Should there be a home project or entity cap, e.g. max 2 persons from a single wiki project or affiliate? If yes, please specify the condition.

Should there be a specific cap for large^[1] language communities, projects, or affiliates, e.g. not more than 5 seats from between the 5 largest projects? If yes, please specify the condition.

Should there be any other limits for Global Council membership? If yes, please specify the condition.
