It's absolutely possible I didn't grasp them.
Though, I think that some milestones like, say, distro upgrades, ovi store opening and possible revamping, and roadmap for important apps like Maps (today's hot issue), see the Council members at the same level of other members of the community, i.e. unaware and unprepared until the things happen.
I hope that the Council members ask for a better insight of the next moves, and prepare the community to them. But again, it's likely the Council already did and still does so, and it's me the one that is not aware of all this work.
