Please bikeshed on words now. Particularly "The Diversity Team Representative [represents] the team's efforts on the Council." should be made more better.

thoughts:
Should we combine this into the section with the other representatives and make it more parallel in structure? Alternately, should we rewrite those to be more parallel to this?
<bikeshed> The Diversity Team Representative serves as a liaison between the team and the Council. </bikeshed>
My thinking for not making it parallel the other two is that I think there's a natural split in the project between engineering and the corresponding os-release-cycle-focused-stuff and the outreach/mindshare side. Diversity/inclusion is not really a third such group; it's something that goes across the whole project.
Not saying I can't be swayed. That's just my logic in how it came to be this way.
It seems that it fits in the same way that the elected reps and the selected reps are together. The diversity rep is selected by a team and has a set of requirements similar to those of the other positions. It seems weird to leave it in the Auxiliary role.
While I understand your split analogy, the elected reps is what sways me.

Here's the proposed change. I suggest we go forward with this now; we can look at rearranging the overall org chart later. (That would combine mindshare, engineering, diversity into one section ("area representatives"? "topic representatives"?), with the elected representatives in their own section.)
PR above is merged. @bex will open ticket for grander rearrangement.
