I dont believe this is entirely correct but this is what i have enterpreted and like to believe...........
After an Unimaginable Battle as only two Maiar of their stature can have, Gandalf stumbled about Middle Earth Naked and so Battle worn he was Wandering Aimlessly not knowing his purpose or Most of his Many names. Then at the comand of Manwe, Gwaihir found him and bore him to Lothlorien where Gwaihir gave him the Councilings of Manwe, and where Galdriel counciled him as well reinforming of who he is if you will, and By the message of Manwe and aproval of Galadriel he was apointed head of the White Council.
Remember out of all the istari sent to ME Gandalf feared Sauron the most, as well as he wanted to stay in Valinor for he loved it more than the others. and for this reason Manwe though him most Apprpriate for the Quest.
