DEV: for new council members, clarify order of voting and talking to them
Original text seemed to imply that we would always ask the potential new
Council Member whether they were interested *before* we actually decided
whether to offer them a spot, which could create a sticky situation if
someone ever got voted down.
Rephrase to make clear that things do not have to occur in this order.
