The roster of candidates for the 4th <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/What_is_the_CSM">Council of Stellar Management</a> (CSM) in <a href="http://www.eveonline.com"><em>EVE Online</em></a> has been announced. According to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ccp-games">CCP Games</a> developer P&eacute;tur J&oacute;hannes &Oacute;skarsson (aka <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ccp-xhagen">CCP Xhagen</a>), 60 members of the playerbase submitted applications, with 49 players accepted after CCP's screening process. (Players must hold valid passports to attend the CSM summit in Reykjavik, and those with EULA violations are ineligible to run.) From this pool of 49, there will ultimately be nine elected delegates and five alternates who can step in when needed. <br />
<br />
Although Xhagen didn't break down candidate stats by nationality, there is a substantial number of U.S. players running for the 4th CSM as in past elections. This time around there are candidates from Latvia, Serbia, and Barbados as well. The ages of candidates range from 21 to 54, and only one female candidate is in the running this term which Xhagen notes is a decrease from the previous election. (He also indicates that only 3.9% of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/eve-online"><em>EVE</em></a>'s subscribers are female.)<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/31/eve-onlines-candidates-for-4th-council-of-stellar-management-an/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>EVE Online's candidates for 4th Council of Stellar Management announced</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/31/eve-onlines-candidates-for-4th-council-of-stellar-management-an/">EVE Online's candidates for 4th Council of Stellar Management announced</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:00:00 EST.
