What I call a "counsel" would really be a poll. Or maybe another forum just like human spaceflight or questions and answers. In which ALL the members of Universe Today can vote on issues that have to deal with the forum. Of course fraser wouldn't give up all his authority to the 2000+ members of Universe Today. He could "veto" any of the counsel's suggestions. The counsel could vote on the rules of the forum or weather or not certain members should be banned. It would allow the members of Universe Today to have more say in the issues that effect Universe Today. Moderators can be like police, keeping order in Universe Today. Fraser could open a new forum just like human spaceflight or questions and answers, but this forum would have the title "government" or "Universe Today Counsel." Fraser could post a "issue" in the forum. The "issue" would have a poll attached to it. Then the members of Universe Today would be able to vote on the "issue" and comment on why members should be in favor of a certain choice. Then after a certain alotted time for voteing, the resaults would be sent to fraser and he could either pass it or veto it. Just a thought please comment . Long live Universe Today!
