maybe the lack of candidates can also be seen as a vote of confidence by the Community for the current Council?
furthermore it makes sense to keep the current Council; the issues being dealt with are complex, more so i feel then the traditional "repository / package" bla bla that the Council had to deal with in the past.
doesn't it make sense for the current Council to carry on?

as to the board for the foundation...
we had Councils in the past with less then five candidatees; most recently, until last spring, Rob (SD69) was the sole active member
would it be completely unreasonable to institute Tim and Texrat as board?
hopefully they didn't apply for the "popularity contest" of the elections & all that crap...

thus:

• current Council carries on
• current candidates for the Board are tacitly elected
