The Council of Stellar Management


In November 2007, we approached Fanfest goers with our ideas for a player-elected council, the Council of Stellar Management (CSM). We received variety of comments and suggestions and much discussion was held in the wake of the blog that was published shortly after Fanfest. Now the time of contemplation has passed and the hour of action has come.



Below is the timeline for the next half a year concerning the CSM so you should be able to make preparations in time should you wish to throw your hat in the ring as a candidate. Two additional documents are included that describe the election process: one that details <a href="http://myeve.eve-online.com/download/devblog/CSM.pdf" > the reasons, background and the intention of the CSM </a> and the second is  a brief summary that contains the gut mechanism of the council’s functions.



It cannot be stressed enough that the council will not have any formal power within CCP; it will function solely as an advisory council to CCP by serving as a communication conduit between the playerbase and CCP.



Here is the timeline involving the council and, hopefully, this will provide the opportunity for all those who wish to participate to make the necessary preparations.
