But all of this concerns a potential future -- not today.

And before any of this can happen, foundation must come up with the 
first move and declare such a plan in general (I think they were working 
on this and started to evaluate possibilities but after some umbrella 
organizations rejected their requests the process became stale).

My point is, discussions should happen in public, on mailing list.

If there is something for council meeting, i.e. a possible motion, this 
must be discussed on mailing list first and shouldn't get created during 
a meeting. So having just a discussion during meeting without a clear 
goal/defined end, is likely a waste of time as agenda item.

If you just want to talk about this for some reason and don't plan to 
bring forward a motion or something, please move this to open floor 
which will allow non-council member to join and others to leave because 
it isn't part of the mandatory meeting anymore.
