  White Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The White Council's head was the Wizard Saruman the White, (although Galadriel wished for Gandalf the Grey to be made the leader).
Other members of the Council included the Bearers of the Three Rings of the Elves (although this was not known to any save the Bearers)--Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond,-- Círdan the Shipwright (who had borne Narya, the ring of Fire before handing it on to Gandalf), and Radagast the Brown.
This White Council meeting, of late summer, 2941 TA., was also the reason that Gandalf was unable to accompany Bilbo and the dwarves on a portion of their trip to the Lonely mountain, in The Hobbit.

 Pasco: Council wise to end city PR campaign
Instead of inviting skepticism, the council is smart to pass on the ill-defined effort.
Such an expense might be justified in the near future as the city works to redevelop land owned by its largest employer and taxpayer, HCA Community Hospital, which plans to build a new hospital near Trinity and raze its current location inside the city.
Committing to a multiyear campaign certainly would be hard to swallow for city workers who saw the council cut $62,000 worth of employee raises from the current budget.

First, Council members must be elected, "directly and individually by secret ballot by the majority of the members of the General Assembly." This means that nations will not get on the Council, as they did on the Commission, simply because there is no rival candidate from their own region.
Second, Council members are required to "uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights," and to submit their own human-rights record to the Council's scrutiny during their term of membership.
It is required to "be guided by the principles of universality, impartiality, objectivity and non-selectivity," while eliminating "double standards and politicization." And whereas the Commission was entirely reactive, the Council is mandated to contribute to preventing human-rights violations.
