Council should consist of clan leaders and non-clan leaders.

clan membership should not be considered. when considering people for this Task Force, it should be like clans don't even exist.

Forum Mods are already approved by the devs, so toss in a few of those.
Toss in a few "average joes".

Pick council members by nomination. 3-5 nominations puts them in the polls. That person can decline to run for council or accept prior to the poll date.

Council members should be voted in yearly to avoid "power trippers", clan debates, favoritism or suspected "secret conspiracies" that are going on in private.

If someone submits a request to the blacklist would these requests be reviewed privately, and the council decides privately who to include on the list? This would avoid flaming or lies that might be told by someone trying to accuse the person being submitted for BL'ing.

I believe that it should be reviewed privately. What would be the point in taking such care in picking a task force if their actions were visible for everyone to comment on?

as for cycling the members, I agree that you shouldn't be allowed to be on the task force for two consecutive years. Other than that, I don't care if they have over nine thousand total terms, as long as they are forced to take a break.

as for the amount of members on this task force, I believe it should be a reasonably large number, ~12. this way, if a bad apple happens to get in, he/she will be outweighed by the rest, while still keeping the amount low enough that you will have enough active people to maintain the gap year.

Other than what I have specified, I agree with V-wifey and Fiz, especially on the points of how the BL should be used and not forcing anyone to use this BL; it should be for the people who don't want to maintain their own list.
