Jita Park Speakers Corner

Indeed, an account must have been subscribed for at least 30 days in order to cast a ballot. Since it is less than 30 days until the last day of voting, newly reactivated accounts won't be able to vote.

All the more reason why it's important to drum up support for your preferred candidate by getting your friends educated and primed to vote. Elections are decided by voters who take the time to get involved.

Trebor, i seriously hope you get your hands on the reigns this year.

It needs your resolve and wisdom to bring greater credibility and purpose for the whole of EvE back into the CSM.

As such even with any humility you might consider as a result, I hope you get the chair position for CSM7.

Oh, the chair is not at all important to me. If I get elected chair, I'll offer to sell it to Mittens for 1T ISK and use it to reimburse the poor ganked ice miners.

Cash in advance, of course.

I'll be Voting for Seleene, Two Step and of course, Trebor, this year.

All 3 have done sterling work on CSM6. Please keep up the good work guys

You’re on the short-list! what would be your Dream Team?

Oh man, you really know how to hurt a guy! I am cut to the quick! Endorsed by the Goons, the Kiss of Death!

At one point, a professional moderator chaired the CSM meetings, although this was phased out during CSM 5 (he felt he was not needed anymore). However, he ran the meetings, he did not record the results.

Providing better recording and transcription would be nice, but as always there is a time/effort/cost tradeoff. CCP can devote only so much money to CSM, and CSM delegates (being volunteers) can devote only so much time.

For a variety of reasons, the burden of transcribing and editing the minutes has usually fallen on the backs of a subset of the CSM (plus CCP Xhagen and CCP Diagoras, who work very hard; give them hugs at FanFest). It would be nice to wave a magic wand and get every word in the summit sessions professionally transcribed and attributed, but I don't see it happening anytime soon, especially given the budget cutbacks CCP has had to endure recently.

Good luck on being a member or CSM 7, you have my 2 votes, but in all honesty i hope you don't get chair, because the real work happens in the trenches, not at the head of the table.

That and if the Mittani did pay you the 1 trillion isk, i would hate to see you have to waste any effort to paying out, I'd rather you were focused on FiS.

I'll apply myself with the same energy whether I come in 1st... or 14th.


A dedicated public servant must be prepared to make sacrifices for his constituents.

Oh, I rarely take anything people say in forums at face value. Even if Alex thought I was the best thing since sliced bread during the last elections, he probably would have "unleashed the goons" on me; it was a sound tactical move on a variety of levels. I wasn't butthurt in the least; I appreciated the free PR.

Similarly, as soon as CSM6 started operations, Alex and the other new delegates rapidly realized what previous CSM members had been saying was in fact true. They all quickly pivoted to accommodate the new "ground truth" and applied their particular talents in the way that was most useful to the team.

Alex, for example, is a brilliant verbal communicator, so he was the obvious choice as our spokesman. He could have come in 9th and still taken on that role, because he's obviously the best man for that job.

I'm a good writer and editor, so I did a lot of work refining the messaging.

Seleene made many contributions, not the least of which was his intimate knowledge of CCP and the people there. Two step was a bundle of energy, taking on a lot of tasks. The deep knowledge of guys like Meissa, Prom and others was invaluable. And so on, and so on.


You can still vote for me. I won't tell Alex -- promise!
