The High Council, sometimes called the Supreme Council or High Council of Time Lords, was the governing body of the Time Lords on Gallifrey, composed of the Lord President (TV: The Invasion of Time) and Cardinals elected from the ruling Houses. (TV: The Ultimate Foe)
Officially, without a President, the Council could ratify nothing, even if this occurred in exceptional cases such as the absence of the President-elect. (TV: The Invasion of Time)
Membership
The Inner Council consisted of the President, the Chancellor, (TV: The Deadly Assassin) and the Castellan. (TV: The Five Doctors)
Other offices associated with the Council included the Gold Usher (TV: The Deadly Assassin), the Surgeon General (TV: The Invasion of Time) and the Inquisitor. (TV: The Trial of a Time Lord)
When the High Council was disbanded for an imminent election for the post of Lord President, the candidates themselves formed the interim Council. (AUDIO: Mindbomb)
History
Please help by adding some more information.
At the end of the trial against the Sixth Doctor and the revelation of the Time Lord's involvement in the Ravolox affair, insurrections burst on Gallifrey and the High Council was deposed; new elections were announced. (TV: The Ultimate Foe)
The High Council remained in power during the War in Heaven, authorising genetic experiments to create lesser species with Time Lord abilities, such as Ogron Lords. (PROSE: Interference - Book One, Interference - Book Two) Homunculette was sent by the High Council to obtain the Relic. (PROSE: Alien Bodies) However, other sources indicate the Time Lords were led by the War Council. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5, AUDIO: Body Politic)
By time of the Last Great Time War, the Time Lords had resurrected Rassilon, who returned to lead the High Council against the Daleks. At least an emergency session of the council was arranged, when the War Doctor and his companion Cinder landed on Gallifrey, bringing news about the Temporal Cannon of the Daleks. It was the first time a human had been allowed to attend such a meeting. (PROSE: Engines of War)
By the last day of the war, the High Council met in a darkened chamber in the ruined Citadel. They met there on the last day of the war to discuss Rassilon's Final Sanction. (TV: The End of Time)
While this was happening, the War Council threw away the High Council's plans and made some of their own. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
When Clara Oswald pleaded with the Time Lords to save the Doctor, the High Council decided to grant him a new regeneration cycle. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)
After the Twelfth Doctor returned to Gallifrey, by this point hidden at the end of the universe, Rassilon sent them out to meet the Doctor who merely walked back inside the barn he had slept in as a child. Rassilon was ultimately forced to come greet the Doctor himself. After overthrowing Rassilon, the Doctor banished him and the High Council from Gallifrey for their roles in both his imprisonment and their crimes in the Time War. (TV: Hell Bent)
