Staff can have the option of trying for council, I don't see the issue with them not being able to be on the council -- as long as they want to be, they can volunteer to be included in the voting process. That means that they ultimately accept the responsibility and agree that they'll be actively participating in the council duties, on-top of their normal staff work.
Current hosts should not be a part of the council, in hopes of only to avoid biased opinions more-so along with people who are calm, approachable and realistic. If a large problem from the get-go was current hosts, then it should be clear and evident that they should stay away from a position that decides on things regarding active hosts -- opinions will be biased. The council should be separated from judges and current hosts. Simple enough.
Also, I like the idea of 5 people. 3 is too small. 5 people would allow for more feedback, variability, and 2 people wouldn't gang up on one person.
I feel preferences should still be incorporated into terms, because that should be a host's home field advantage, considering they earned their beast and should have some say when making the terms for their fight. It should be just enough to benefit the host than the challenger, but should not skew a scenario; prevailing over a host should be a difficult feat to accomplish.
