Maybe I am interpreting the agenda incorrectly, but the slot for WGs is
exactly what is missing.
WG meetings will either overlap with Constituency meetings or with GA (or
with Council).
The only possibility I see is to have the Council meeting (that involves in
principle less people) at a less convenient timing, like the evening of
Tuesday.

Exactly.
But that should be for Council (or at worse for WGs), not for GA.

everything is decided by the Council regardless the input.

Newly-elected 19 Board members?!?
