While reeding the CSM summit minutes I was seeing concern on keeping a diverse selection on the counsil. So being a noob I hope I'm not being ignorant in saying this.

I think it might be nice to have CSM's elected as a sort of senate. Each canidate will aplly for a particular style of play. If im correct there are 15 spots. Im think there are enough spot to ensure every style of the game is be coverd. Industry, Faction Warfare, PvP ( a represemtative for low and high, may be one for both), Wormhole and New players. Maybe in my ignorance it seems simple but i think if players were able to look at a few canidates they knew were going to rep their game style votes and vote quality would go up. Having said that i only listed 5 aspects of eve, obvioulsy some one with more game knowladge than me will have to expand on them but i think it would ensure a stable CSM.

I actually like it. And 5 d be ok, but id put em like this:

High sec
Low sec
Null
Wormhole
Economy (mining, manufacturing, trading, exploration, missions) in other word carebearing.

So for each topic we can choose 3 players. And yeah CSM btw them should choose the chairman.

BALEX, bringing piracy on a whole new level.

This has been suggested many times before. The problem is distinguishing CSM candidates into their appropriate subjects.

If a nullsec resident wants to run as a highsec representative, how do you stop that? What qualifications would allow some and disallow others? That nullsec resident may have never set foot in highsec, but he can just as easily claim his alts have. Or even run as his alt.

It's a neat idea and one we really need, but proper implementation doesn't exist.

So what is proper implementation? A test?
In my mind I would say eventualy with players reading things like the CSM minutes, someone would catch on to a poser. May be even the other CSMs would be able to spot them also especialy if there are other people on the CSM with similar specialties. This i think would then tie in to another topic they brought up. How do you then remove a member? Or would this even qualify as having need to be removed?
