Team,

The council needs a chairman and a secretary. 

It does not matter if they are rotating positions or elected by the 
council. The chairman must be a member of the council, the secretary 
can be anyone capable of discharging the duties of the post. They need 
not be a dev at all.

The main point is to prevent the waste of time at the start of the 
meeting working out who is logging, posting the summary and who is 
chairing.

If other 'officer' roles would help to discharge the business of the 
council, the council should be free to appoint them.
