Please stop claiming this. Council members aren't officers of the
foundation, the same way as members of the Debian technical committee
aren't officers of SPI.

Also, who are the foundation's officers is defined by section 6.1 of
the bylaws. Especially, officers are elected by the board of trustees.
The council is neither elected by the trustees, nor are council
members even required to be members of the foundation.

(I am ready to withdraw from my foundation membership if that should
be necessary to clarify my status.)
