Two. One is pretty much the same maemo council as it has always been and the other is the new foundation council. The reason for this, which might not have been apparent, is that Hildon Foundation might in the future have an OSS project other than maemo.org. For example, a potential partner or sponsor may not be interested in working with legacy maemo because it wants to be future looking, but it would be interested in doing another project with us. There is more flexibility if this other project and the Foundation in general is not compelled to use the same rules that have been used in maemo.org. Notice that the Foundation Council has the ability to write different rules on membership and elections, and need not do things the same way as at maemo.org. For example, imagine if Jolla had decided to work with us, we could have worked out a different arrangement with them. I get comments from time to time expressing the mistaken notion that Hildon Foundation was founded just to save maemo.org, and it is not limited in that way. So this post should clear that up as well.

This is correct (except for the single word "Foundation"). The Board's minutes say: “The Board votes the newly elected (maemo community) Council in to take responsibility for running, administrating, and managing daily operations of maemo.org.”

So the then existing maemo community council was made the first council in Hildon Foundation and is responsible for maemo.org when it gets handed over from Nokia to Hildon Foundation. For continuity's sake, the council will already be in place for the transition and an election will not be required at that time. Hildon Board voluntarily took the maemo community's decision, adopted it, and has been working with Maemo Community Council for months in preparation for the handover - to everyone's ultimate benefit.

It can also be seen that the functions mentioned in the Board's minutes are not the functions of the Hildon Foundation Council which are stated in the Foundation bylaws to be related to membership and elections. The foundation bylaws also task the Foundation Council with coming up with new membership and election rules, which again is an intentional split with maemo community council.
