Given their name and some information from Sunless Sea I think that the calendar council may be organized (knowingly or not) by the Dawn Machine and it's servants at Grand Geode/Station V adjunct. After all the oldest calendars were set by the movements of the sun.

You know... I could even envision how the scenario would play out if that were the case. The machine is activated, and darkness descends upon the entire universe... until a new light starts to shine. The Device was made to free humanity by destroying the Sequence, but what if it's not designed to deal with a New Sequence?

How does Machine communicate?

My guess is, it does it by influencing emotions/desires and/or by inserting thoughts/thought patterns and so on in those who have been ensnared or have given themselves willingly to it.
The reasoning behind my answer is based on the limited interactions we've had with "Dawn-touched" NPC's. None of them say or even imply that it directly speaks to them. They just describe it as a glorious and enlightening presence for which they are willing and ready to do anything necessary.

Social actions, invites, roleplaying and general merrymaking is more than welcomed!

The machine screams in broken correspondence, trying to influence the world around it, receiving no answer. (According to me with no basis other than judgements use it and the Dawn Machine is a proto-judgement)

Except your metaphor would mean they're puppets of the judgements (or rather, one specific judgement).

Broken Correspondence? For some reason i've always thought Machine doesn't use anything Bazaar-related. Interesting, can it be converted into a Bazaar-like creature, or even a new star. Can we merge it with some powerful souls?

Sorry that was just me making stuff up, I'll edit it to make that clear. (As in actually make it have an indication of me making it up.). But since the judgements use the correspondence, its not out of the question.

Some of the council seems to have some kind of knowledge of/relation to the Machine per the Calendar Code EF story, but we haven't seen any of them display the characteristic eye-coloration of those touched by the Dawn Machine, to my knowledge. And, as the Liberation faction at least has extreme beef with the concepts of Light and Law -- RIGHTFULLY SO -- I cannot imagine they intend to spare the Navy's own personal robo-star from destruction. No half-measures in the war against the Judgements.
Embrace the Liberation. You have nothing to lose but the Chains that bind all of existence in servitude. Do your part and convert a Luminosity item today.
