Alone you cannot do anything. Still I found that there are some parts 
unspecified like how many meetings and how a meeting has to be announced 
to be considered official that should be clarified.

No changes are required in my opinion.

Trustees manage a local entity located in the USA, the council should 
manage Gentoo as whole. Can they work together to improve Gentoo? Well 
EVERY developer and to a minor degree every member of the Gentoo 
community should work together to improve Gentoo, usually do what's 
within their role. The foundation has to make sure our intellectual 
property won't get abused in the USA, has to defend our trademark and 
cope with the bureaucracy related. The Council has to forster activities 
within Gentoo, to solve deadlocks in discussions by having the last say.

My old manifesto is still valid =)
