Recently, well a few months back, we had the limit for leutenant positions increased to 5.

This was well received, and has enabled prosperous growth for many guilds.

I would like to request that we increase the number of total council in alignment with the increased number of lts. An increase to 15 total council would suffice, however it would be appropriate to leave the number of council members required for the guild creation and similar things to stay the same, simply having an additional few slots to be available to allow for some guilds higher numbers of players.

How is it exactly beneficial? More Lts allowed to recruit more people, but why would a guild need 15 council members?

Well it seems the council is intended to form the core of the guild, if the core is a little larger than normal....

+1, or make it definable by the commander

+1 to making it definable by the commander, with a max of 15

All this needs is for the devs to tell us what the limit is, be it a single amount applied to all guilds, some sort of formula based on guild size at the time, or ?

The commander serves at the pleasure of the council. It sounds like you want to dilute a council to make it harder to be overthrown. I don't have a problem with that.

+1

The structure of the guild should be set by the commander.

Who ever helps to form the guild should have a say in its structure. Not just the commander.

True but unless the devs want to make it changeable, it can only be set once at the time of creation which is usually done by the CO....

Personally i think just increasing the upper allowed limit is best, let ev3rything stay the same.
