The Centrifuge Council has increased the amount of seats from 7 to 9 as a part of the most recent Runtime Upgrade 1007. Before the upgrade, there were two runners up (Kirill and Ash) and they have now been elected and given a seat in the Council.

Some of the most important tasks of the Council are:

 Proposing referenda for the benefit of the network and token holders
 Vetoing malicious or dangerous referenda
 Managing the Treasury (which also was enabled with this Runtime Upgrade)

Having a well diversified Council is important when discussing changes/voting for proposals and with this increase, more experience and expertise has been added to it.

This is the status of the current Council on Centrifuge :point_down:
