The vote would of course be voluntary, so users don't have to be pressured into voting for someone they feel isn't ready for such a position. They can simply abstain from voting if they choose. The nominees should also have a say in this and on what videos should be accepted once they are elected. If nominees are elected then they will be able to as SuperSajuuk said "upload videos on a default state of Private, so the council can easily look through them before they're published". Only the videos won't be private, the community would have access to them, be able to upload them and have a say on which video should be accepted. The council can also vote to have videos removed if it doesn't fit certain criteria such as poor quality etc. However, the community can choose to override the council's vote I.E veto the vote. The council can do the same vice versa. Long story short, splitting power between the council and the community is better than leaving power in the hands of one person or a group that may not be liked so well, which can cause a lot of problems. Uploading them on Private, then giving everyone access to decide if it's good enough, completely defeats the point of uploading it private whatsoever. The whole point of uploading it on private is so it's not visible to the community immediately.

99% of this community is not going to notice whether a video is bad quality or not, unless it's so obvious bad quality. All they care about is seeing the video. The 1%, which would be the sysops and council members, are the only ones who would get involved in that.
