For example, the FESCo representative is appointed by FESCo, which is 100% community-elected. Breaking it down, three seats (FPL, FCAIC, FPgM) are positions for specific Red Hat employees, two are directly elected by the community, three represent community bodies (FESCo, Mindshare, D&I), and the remainder are objective leads, which can be any contributor. So of the 8 permanent seats, five are directly or indirectly selected by the community. I'll remind folks that as of this writing, there are no nominated candidates for the Council election[1].
