## What's Council
Council is a bigger in person meeting of Ethereum enthusiast. Council ceremony is being lead by Ethereum Magicians community member who encourages people to propose topics then vote on topics which are going to be discussed. After ceremony, community devides into smaller groups and discuss topic, work on potential solutions to a problem and eventually creates EIP or post on Ethereum Magicians which gives chance to wider community to discuss and come up with potential solution.
