The Jedi Councils

Recently I learned that there is more than one Jedi Council if there is more than one Jedi Temple. Probably the Temple on Tython has undergone the most development, and this is the Temple at which most of the Temple plots have happened or are happening—Mark's assassination of Master Ti, Jorus's climactic battle with Matrus, Moriah's diplomatic mission.

Three other Jedi Temples have been mentioned in the Battle, though—the Ossus Jedi Temple, the Coruscant Jedi Temple, and the Taris Jedi Temple. How canonical these Temples are I don't know, but Coruscant definitely has a Jedi Temple even at this point, and Ossus and Taris are both worlds associated with the Jedi.

I looked up the Jedi High Council on Wookieepedia for research on this post. This is the best known Jedi Council, being composed of twelve Jedi Masters: five permanent, four long-term, three limited-term. What I'm wondering is if the Jedi Temples on Ossus, Taris and Coruscant would have Councils similar to the Jedi High Council on Tython—not High Councils themselves, but based around the structure of the High Council.

CaC2 isn't strictly true to the times of Star Wars in which it takes place—to the small details, the history. For example, I imagine CaC2 is taking place in around 3653 BBY before the Sacking of Coruscant, but I think WookieeElf and NightBlade may be imagining it post-3960, just after the Mandalorian Wars. So we're not strictly in any Expanded Universe time frame.

What do you guys think about having multiple Jedi Councils structured the same and based on different worlds—Tython, Taris, Ossus, Coruscant? I'd expect one to be the Jedi High Council, probably the Tython one, while the rest are ranked equally with one another and are subordinate to the High Council.

If yes:

Jedi High Council (Tython)
1. Tarmys Darumar (Master of the Order)
2. Ora (Permanent)
3. Zadock Sift (Permanent)
4. Shor To (Permanent)
5. Neera Talinth (Permanent/Long-term?)
6. Master Kiri (Long-term)
7. Warnu Rakorn (Long-term)
8. Nelev Sepech (Long-term)
9. (no character)
10. Kazadan Sarsis (Limited-term)
11. Hul Maessk (Limited-term)
12. Sabera Vayn (Limited-term)

Sabera Vayn's limited term is almost over, so she will soon step down from the Council, and Tarmys Darumar has announced his attention to resign from the Council when they have decided on a suitable replacement for him as the Master of the Order.

Two other candidates for the Jedi High Council were Corrogan Mald and Trien Ganoth, but currently they're not on the Council.

(Oh, and currently there is no Grand Master among the Order. At least, no one's created one yet.)
