A few more things to think about.
If you're going to hold the Council to it, I think that it would be a
good idea to link to

This one might be a little silly, but I don't think whoever wrote it
was thinking clearly. Its just one of those things that doesn't quite
fit.
"IRC Council members should be accessible by and responsive to the IRC
community (i.e. through a dedicated mailing list)."
I find it amusing that it suggests our most rampant irc'ers would be
most accessible and responsive on email. Just to humour me, could we
please change the example to something like "(i.e. in a dedicated irc
channel)". It seems a lot more appropriate to me.

"Ops are welcome to apply for a role on the council and retain their
Op status, but they are also informed that in the interests of having
a separation of power, they also have the opportunity to step down as
an Op temporarily."
We aren't forcing anybody to be an op here? People can step down
whenever they want (as long as they are considerate in doing so of
course)
People also don't have to use their access if they don't want to.
Nobody has to get involved in a situation if they don't want to.
This line is extremely confusing to me. What does it mean? Why is it here?
In short.. my big question to whoever wrote it is... "What issue is it
designed to resolve?"
