Well that's where we'll have to agree to disagree I guess. I think you're reading too far into what is essentially people volunteering their free time to attend a three-day workshop encased in darkness with a room full of nerds for a larger community of angry nerds who salivate over the idea of dissecting said workshop with the least amount of civility possible.

It's not that I 'trust' them. It's that I feel bad enough for them already. Bear

Well they should have considered that before taking on board the duties and responsibilities of being a CSM council member then.

Or is it supposed to be just a jolly holiday? At the end of the day pandering to their whims as opposed to them effectively representing you is the question at hand.

But seriously changing pronouns to names is really that much of a big ask?

I have no specific issues with this, I don't care who sees what opinions I'm representing at the summit. The problem for me, as somebody who wrote several minutes, is the style we used just wouldn't have worked well with this. We didn't just puke out a log of the conversation, we tried to write it in a way that gave the ideas and set up the bigger picture as much as possible. Well, that's how I did it. My logs would have looked kinda crappy if I had to go in and attribute what each person said not to mention it would have been impossible for the most part.



... Impossible??

Yes, impossible. They recorded the meetings and we knew they were being recorded and uploaded for review. The only problem is since we knew they were doing this (having experienced it the first summit) few of us took detailed notes knowing we'd have the whole meeting available for review afterwards.

The camera recorded the CCP speakers but all I saw was the back of laptops and several drinks on the table from the CSM side. I couldn't have properly attributed specific statements if you paid me for it.

Not really, just a lack of "professionalism" even if they are volunteers.

As its just another smack in the face to CCP intentions for the CSM and every "paying" player as a result.

Yes ok great you got an axe to grind and want to come here to throw silly punches. Are you wanting a serious discussion or is this just a drive by poop post?

This may be hard for you to understand, but as a voter I thought I might express my opinion on the matter. If you simply want to dismiss it by projecting "your" inaccurate take on things thats up to you. Seems you simply have (maybe a pattern of behaviour on the subject).

And yet the overall page length really wouldn't be that affected by this request.

You apparently are suffering from the misapprehension that I (and other CSMs who work on the minutes) have an infinite amount of time. Let me assure you that we do not.

As I have now explained several times, individual attribution is more time-consuming. This is both because of the mechanics of transcription and the materials we have to work from, and also because of the extra time ensuring that the attributions are correct.

Given that we have a limited amount of time, I am of the opinion that that resource is best spent on detailing what was said as opposed to who in particular said it.

With respect to accusations that I (and others) are protecting our anonymity, I would point out that several of us have posted detailed blog entries stating our positions on various issues raised in the minutes. Here is mine.

Seems we are simply going around in circles with this debate.

As such it seems we are to accept what we are given as testimony. I suppose the old addage of "history goes to the victors" holds true.

I explained my reasons why, trebor explained his. I took the time to break down some other reasons why it won't work this time around (not to say that it is impossible for the future) and you post to throw punches right after these explanations.

You suggested we're unprofessional, explain why in this context.

You suggested that we're dismissing somehow by... explaining our reasoning? Maybe this whole 'reading' and 'words' thing is a tough one to grasp?

If you want to have an adult conversation about this subject then back up a bit, rethink your post, and engage on an adult level instead of posting silliness like:

Please explain why I should afford to explain my reasoning to someone who childishly accuses me of having an "axe to grind" and doesn't support any of their reasoning or explantion for their baseless accusations? Pot, kettle, black, Sir.

One rule for you, different rule for everyone else I guess. Otherwise I'm free to express my concerns how I like. Just because you disagree with a persons opinions does not make them invalid. As such I don't see it as a "snarky one liner" but a strong reflection of how dissapointed Iam with members of the CSM on this matter, seemed pretty obvious to me.

Or is now the primary concern of the CSM total mind control and censorship of all "unregulated" posting against their interests?

Simply fulfill your remaining term of office as you suggested and resign as you have announced it will be one less "clown" on the Council.

Man I cant wait till World of Darkness has vampire CSM, as if this thread wasnt enough. I also imagine we dont get two cameras in the minutes room, since one is being saved for the dust or WoD CSM, too bad. I actually enjoyed the minutes and the blogs post minutes. But I suppose our EVE stockings just arent gonna be big enough to hold everything we wanted oh well.

Rather then going to the lengths of attributing everything that was said, why can't you note objections to what the CSM decides that way if someone has a dissenting view it can be duly noted and we upon review can know that if a csm member didn't dissent we know they were for it.

seems like a decent enough compromise so you can still paint your big picture as to the style of minutes you present but lets delegates stand out, I think most people just want to know who was for what and who wasn't and that doesn't mean every thing has to be attributed.

At the same time I have never had trouble getting board meetings minuted.

All these threads talking about the CSM and the rage.

idgi..

I voted last election 4 time for the Mittani. I felt perfectly represented by the candidate I chose, and feel like he carried through on the things he said he was going to do. At no point was I dissapointed in who I voted for (hell sometimes there was even an immense entertainment value involved on the meta level).

The best thing to do is not just troll the forums, but actually get out there and stump for your candidate I think if you want to see a change to the CSM to people who represent you. If people who represent you can't get voted in, that's cause to the majority of people who can be arsed to vote, your views suck. Deal with it.

This is also why I love Mittani, he said to do #1, #2 comes automatically.
