1. The Art Council should not be responsible for granting Ubuntu
membership, because the risk is that the community won't get to know new

is a risk of less consistency in membership appointments.
The CC will only delegate membership granting to the Arts Council (or any other team) if it has confidence in their understanding of the criteria and judgement, and if they commit to reporting up to the CC the results and rationale for their membership approvals.

2. Most decisions should be taken by the whole art team, while decisions
which are contentious can be taken by the Art Council. I think this is
important to ensure that everyone in the team plays a role in the
direction of the team and to ensure that important new contributors who
do not sit on the Art Council can participate fully.
The Art Council is mainly a policy body. Actual buck-stops-here art decisions are shared by the artist-in-chief for the release (ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, edubuntu) and in some cases those AIC's are accountable to Canonical (me, or some future art director).
