[Those who answered Van Zieks's call, huh? It's true, that's a good starting point, but he's certain there are more of those types around. Whether they arrived later or missed Van Zieks's message is a whole other question. It's something to think about, in any case.]
Yes, that is a rather pressing problem. We must always be prepared to replace a council member, or at the very least function with a smaller group if necessary.
Another possible benefit of having a council to oversee some matters and to confide in ensures that there are others holding vital knowledge. That way, should someone in charge of a project suddenly be sent away, knowledge and progress won't be lost entirely. Even if the knowledge retained is only a rudimentary summary, it's preferable to having to start again from the beginning.
