The names of *all* of the sessions came from CCP Xhagen, and he was the one that requested this session. It is perfectly permissible for the changes to be no changes at all, but we do need to discuss it.

I like Trebor's scheme, being functionally similar to the way the Senate is elected in oz.

Do you have a link to further explanations of your points?

There is a problem with CSM not being very representative of Eve population, completely missing out on many known categories of players, that much is obvious.

And before you say it, have you seen anyone champion Mission running? So many people do it and it is suicidally boring, It needs a major fix and has barely ever had any resources spent on it.

As to the candidates maybe you can show me a post were anyone in the peramble to the last election was going out for missions..

Some countries reserve a certain number of seats in their legislature for those who would otherwise never gain a voice. Could something similar be rigged up for the CSM? A dedicated WH seat and a dedicated Highsec seat?

One person one vote. Open registration 8 weeks before election.
Proof of I.D. and address or some other verification process.

Then we should really get an idea of the realistic numbers who actually vote.

How many people are motivated to vote is completely orthogonal to the actual issue, which is how the ballot works and how the votes are counted.

Let's keep on topic guise.

Like it or not more people need to be educated to vote as well as possibly rewarded.

So the CSM does not just stay a minority lobby group but becomes a representative body of the whole of EvE.

Sidenote: I don't know how Goons have managed to miss the fact that the current system wasted majority of Mittani's votes even without the incident. If they really were as organized as some people seem to belive they should have praised the proposed solution and in the same sentence point out the fact that overvotes not transferring does not fit that stated goal.

I would agree with "was intentionally unfavorable to to us (overvoting)". Still instead of reacting with "NOOOOO you are being mean to us " +(tinfoil) you could have run with "Vote transferring is a good way to make the system better but let's make this little change so that it is a)fair b) eliminates the need for tactical voting completely and not just in one end of the voting distribution.

Proper STV and the fixed Trebor system would actually maintain the ability to send a message by overvoting, but it would also not make those votes to go to waste.

The thread is easily available for everyone to read and after just checking the first page I don't think objective facts support your view.

But as bad Goon PR strategy was I will be there to whine with you if changes that have as obvious flaws as the Trebor's plan had are proposed after the summit.

Goons would probably be better served engaging in that discussion rather than inventing things to tinfoil hat about.

Despite the hilarity of the Goons instantly invading the thread assuming that this is all somehow directed at them,

..

If you note the title of the thread, it is a call for discussion. You know, where you bring ideas and share them and discuss their merits. I hope we can all keep this in mind before we continue down the rabbit hole of stupidity that is either "You just want to suppress Goon influence" or "you just want to make sure you all get re-elected".
