EVE Online's Council of Stellar Management is about to change seats once again. On April 4th, the current council's term will expire, meaning that it's time for a new council to be formed among the game's players. CCP Games is starting the process for election early, posting a full timetable of the upcoming election as well as the requirements for candidacy. Applications for candidacy will be open from February 8th through the 22nd, followed by nominations until the 29th, with the election proper running between March 7th and March 21st.
Thinking about throwing your hat into the ring? Eligible players must be 21 years old or older by April 4th, able to travel to CCP's headquarters in Iceland, and have an EVE Online account older than 30 days. Anyone eligible will also be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, since the Council of Stellar Management frequently receives information not yet available to the general playerbase. Even if you're not interested in running yourself, it's going to be interesting for EVE players to take part in the election once again.

I look forward to a day in the far future where it is considered standard to have a player congress (Without any freaking NDA). Perhaps it's just a pipe dream, but it seems like the only way to mitigate the negative aspects of FTP, item shops, and excessive marketing.

Predicting te entire next council is made up of nothing but 0.0 alliance leaders. But then that's really the fault of the playerbase at large not voting.
