<p>The First Meeting

<p>The first meeting of the Council will be held in EVE next Saturday. Though the session is closed to the public, you can follow the progress and discussions on the CSM forum section where all meeting minutes will be made public.

<p>The Council members will be flown to Iceland the weekend of June 19th to meet with CCP after having deliberated and prioritized topics raised by players. In contrast to the mirth and merriment of our annual Fanfest, the time will be used to lay the foundation upon which the CSM will grow and evolve.

<p>These numbers give us some food for thought. In studying real world voting trends in Germany and the UK, we see from public figures that voter participation in the German Federal elections of 2005  was higher than in the UK general election 2005; however, in the CSM election, the voter turn-out of German players was noticeably lower.
 
<p>The distribution of subscribers by region and the voters’ distribution by region is more or less uniform with few exceptions, such as Poland holding 1.88% of the cast votes while being only 0.84% of the eligible voters;  Germany and France both have a noticeably large faction of eligible voters, yet fewer than could be expected actually showed up in the booth.

<p>We want to thank all of the candidates who threw their hats into the ring and gave it their all. Watching the campaigns unfold was fascinating. We also appreciate those who supported the CSM by voting.  There is no way of knowing where this will lead, but we’re all in it together and the promise of what we can accomplish together is astonishing.
