EVE Search - EBANK Searching for a Board of Directors. Apply within

I tried working with the other questions but the truth is that my answers would've been either cliche or trite. So I decided to answer the two questions I could answer properly and leave the others behind.

Originally by: EBANK Ricdic
I want to know why you want to be a part of the EBANK.

Because it has been a long time since I have been part of such a public/community project and alot of satisfaction can be gained from being involved in such.

Originally by: EBANK Ricdic
I want to know why you think you should be considered above others.

Even though there is a great level of credibility attributed to many of the applicants none has the history of honesty, brutal even, that I have. The board of directors that is selected will not only be a guiding force behind this project but it will also be what the investors (customers) look at for confidence. I think that I would bring a great deal of confidence (even greater than your own reputation) to this project ... mostly because of my honesty and history.

Then there is the time factor, the ministry makes no huge demands so the nature of my real life allows me a lot of time for Eve. I can commit to a greater level of involvement due to that.

However, in closing, I dislike this last question. I have ego enough to think myself better than others but .... well to be quite honest there are quite a number of people on the list that I am loathe to say I am better than because they are quite excellent.

Taikun Gallente Serenity Prime Praesidium Libertatis	Posted - 2007.08.16 07:04:00 - [32] Edited by: Taikun on 16/08/2007 07:09:04 Originally by: Pang Grohl I'm a little confused about your popularity contest statement. It was slightly tounge in cheek. The main thrust of my post was to suggest that approaching selected individuals with a proven track record of performance acting in this capacity first would be best. The benefits of doing so are more profound than what ultimately amounts to a 'popularity' contest in open forum posts. (IMO of course) Ricdic will get his talent pool that is no question. The criteria and workload for direcrtorship is miniscule in this game compared to R/L. I was a little surprised about the process. That's all. Originally by: Pang Grohl Here in EVE, specifically this venture, board members are volunteers. As for director being volunteers. I think you will find Ricdic said something about compensation so this is a paid role people are putting their name forward for. Not that it is a bad thing, but it may change the 'motives' of individuals putting their names in the hat. I know in RL directors get paid, but in all reality it is a token sum compared to their net worth, or capacity to earn in another role. Although compensation isn't all the big of a deal when compared to getting the right people in the role. To be, it isn't a open casting call... it is seeking out those who have a proven track record of success, excellent reputation, good understanding of the type of venture you want to do, and most importantly... somebody interested in being involved beyond the scope of ISK. Taikun ----------------------------------- For lack of a better word ladies and gentlemen... Greed is good.
EBANK Ricdic Eve-Tech Savings n Loans Zzz	Posted - 2007.08.16 10:48:00 - [33] Hexxx and I have been in deliberations over the past 24 hours or so regarding the kind of directors we are after. Firstly, we want all directors to see the EBANK as a corporation that can do great things. It really is what is driving us. I think it goes beyond the value of isk, as Taikun has pointed out above. We want to bring a whole new level to the financial sector in Eve, and attempt to mold public corporations and services into an integrated system. It will be a considerable amount of work, but the rewards (non financial) are something we are really getting into this project for. When desiging our shortlist (which has already been decided for those who have posted thus far) we want people across a range of roles and fields. We don't want 5 financial analysts, or 5 market leaders. We want our directors to cover different areas in the sector to attempt to diversify and bring new structure to the Board of Directors. Over the next 48 hours we will be conducting interviews with those on the shortlist, and then deciding on the final cut. The Board will consist of 5 members in total, and we are still determining if an alternate board will be selected by us, or by those existing board members, to act in their absence, or take their place if they decide to leave the board. For those who aren't selected, please remember that we are selecting people based on diverse areas (that will be shown when the final group are listed) and not necessarily our belief that you cannot fulfil the role. Thank you for your time, EBANK Ricdic

Quadria Gallente Freelancers Inc. Research Division United Manufacturing and Technology Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.16 16:45:00 - [37] I have an ALT that can help with this. My alt Naki Uesugi is specialized in Trade. just over 3mil Skillpoints in this field. Now training up her Wholesale to 5 then start on tycoon. This can help with placing those buy orders and saving on the brokers tax and transaction taxes. Grtz QUadria

EBANK Ricdic Eve-Tech Savings n Loans Zzz	Posted - 2007.08.16 17:13:00 - [39] Guys, I don't need your alts. I want to know why you want to be a part of the EBANK. I want to know what you hope to gain from the position. I want to know why you think you should be considered above others. I want to know what skills you think you can bring to the table. I want to know what kind of RL or in-game history you have had relevant to this situation. I don't need to know what skills you are training as chances are the bank may never purchase single market item. If it came to a point where we begun using the market, then I would put out a cattle call. The Board of Director's don't even need an alt in the corporation (well, atm one does for my exit strategy). Hope this helps, you guys seemed to be going down a road I didn't like. Just saying "Pick me" won't cut it. It's not so bad for people I know, but for randoms, chances are you won't even get an evemail, as the way I see it, if you can't be bothered trying to show who you are, I don't expect you to perform at all well on the EBANK Board of Directors.
SencneS Amarr Balsarferskratchin Inc Axiom Empire	Posted - 2007.08.16 17:14:00 - [40] Everyone jumps out of the wood work when Ricdic said he has his short list. Can I reserve one of the 60 people you will allow in Phase 1. :) ---------------------------------- Send ISK to SencneS for good Kama!

Johnny ReeRee The ReeRee Brigade	Posted - 2007.08.16 19:50:00 - [44] Originally by: Taikun Wow... a popularity contest for board directors. I have 15 years banking experience,advised corporate boards, set up IPOs, dealt with company formation, hold 2 masters degrees, and author of post graduate thesis on Diverisity in Corporate Governance and NEVER saw a "apply within" system for electing a corporate board. It's... juvenile IMO. Ricdic. Do yourself a favour and approach directors of other successful and long standing eve investments and ask them first. You will get their invested interest in success, access to their 'customers', their built up reputation and collective wisdom. Also... folks that are guarenteed to actually ENJOY this aspect of the game. THAT is the real power in a board collective experience and wisdom. Not appointing a bunch of buffoons and idiots who know how to press the "reply to posts" link. Good luck. Taikun How can someone who claims to have this sort of experience in RL be so completely immature in game?

Ricdic Caldari Corporate Research And Production Pty Ltd Zzz	Posted - 2007.08.20 12:38:00 - [47] Thank you everyone for your applications. The shortlist has been selected, and a final questionaire is about to be sent to them to determine final positions. We have some candidates that should really put the EBANK in a quality position. Listings will be shown once positions are finalised. Kind Regards, Ricdic Need Empire Research Slots. Click here
Shar Tegral	Posted - 2007.08.21 06:49:00 - [48] I just want to know when I can start depositing... got money burning a hole in pocket that I'd rather send somewhere instead of tempting myself over and over again with alot of the goodies out there. Get this bank started... for my sake please! It's A GIRL!!!!!
Hexxx Minmatar ironwood ink	Posted - 2007.08.21 12:13:00 - [49] Oh trust me, I want it started too. =) We're currently working on coding (still) and of course testing. The site has been cleaned up a little to include some more information and I believe that we're in the final stages of interviewing the remaining Director candidates. There are some interesting technical challenges (repeating scheduled tasks on a shared host that prohibits that sort of thing ) but right now we have a redundant method for pulling deposit information. One of them is a custom Windows application and the other is a persistant thread that wakes up every 60 minutes to execute a deposit pull before going back to sleep. We're still hammering out interest payments and of course, account information views. There is a focus on keeping our current goals focused SQUARELY on the foundation of EBANK. Once we're sure it's safe and accurate, doors will open I imagine. I'll see if Ricdic can post an official update.

EBANK Ricdic Eve-Tech Savings n Loans Zzz	Posted - 2007.08.22 02:13:00 - [50] We are all hanging to get this started. The Official Announcement is that the EBANK will be done when we feel it does precisely what we want it to do. We could release a dodgy version of the application in 16 minutes, but we want the EBANK running properly from the start. Our customer's first impressions will determine their chances of continuing to bank with the EBANK. If a customer tries to use the site and gets errors anywhere chances are they won't return. So final result. It will be done when it's done. Regarding the Board of Director's. Questionnaire's have been sent out and everyone has responded. We are now browsing through this listing to pick the final cut. The Board of Directors has been decided as being 7 board members, each with a voting share. There are also 2 alternative board members who don't recieve a voting share, but take place in all discussions etc, and will fill the primary board roles if something forces one of those members to leave/be removed. Finally, LaVista Vista being the EBANK residential coder and web-designer will also sit on the board in a non-voting capacity, as his input on abiltity to make changes and the likes will be crucial. Cheers, the EBANK will be launched when it's ready. Without setting a rock-solid timeframe, I would say 1-2 weeks would be the expectation at this point.

If a customer tries to use the site and gets errors anywhere chances are they won't return. So final result. It will be done when it's done. Very true. And a good idea - As long as it's within a reasonable timeframe ofc. Ability to "deliver" in a reasonable timeframe is just as important (with regards to the impression people get of EBANK) "Impression is everything" as they say BIG Lottery [url
