As the Council's purpose is to replace his former role as Director in resolving Formal Objections, this removes him from being part of the Council. This way, he does not take part in the Council's deliberations, and is not on the critical path for Council votes or quorum questions, notably the Council's Unanimous Short Circuit.

This is one possible solution to #784, with #791 and #793 being alternatives.

@frivoal's change LGTM. No need to make any dependency on other PRs.

I'd prefer wording that doesn't get personal; see my suggestion.

Approve with @hober's suggested edits. Tess's version also has the benefit of not adding a new explicit reference to Tim by name in the Process.

In addition to my positive review, just recording here that the TAG discussed in breakout (and async, in chat) and the upshot is that the TAG supports this PR.
