I'm sure the resident expert will come by before long to tell us which. Just for clarity, I actually like the decision. I also would place myself pretty far from any sort of habitual accuser or tin foil hat wearer. I just found it humorous that he implied the decision wasn't made and announced himself as the forum voice of the CSM, only to have numerous CSM's not only post in the same thread but also confirm that the decision was already made. For the Record: I voted for Mike and would still do so today. Edit: I too await our "resident experts" take on all of this.

Though I thought we were all getting along pretty well last year when we all made easy decisions on who should be what, however this year is already shaping up to be even better. Entirely meaningless because you (the CSM) failed to internally elect the proper individuals to the roles, or because we failed to elect the right candidates to begin with? What part is broken here? The roles, the responsibilities, or the people associated with either? None of that is a troll either. It just doesn't seem all that hard to accept the responsibility you chose to accept or to replace those individuals incapable or unwilling to carry out their duties. (Not you by the way. I have no idea if you were elected as anything more than 1 of 14).
Dirk MacGirk Specter Syndicate Tactical Narcotics Team 20	Posted - 2014.05.07 05:55:00 - [37] - Quote Note to CCP (because the CSM won't back down from their stance at this point) - If this sits well with you, address it by amending the CSM White Paper to allow this change. Otherwise put a stop to the end run around the rules enacted by the document. So many words and so much time spent by some poor sap roleplaying the internet gaming version of Thomas Jefferson. All basically to waste if this will just be run by whatever club takes over each May.

If you can keep me in the loop as to what the investigation turns up I would appreciate it Thanks for the input Yes Australia has mandatory voting with a $20 fine for non-voting that actually increases to $150 if you don't pay it before it gets to court (about 4 weeks), no what I was saying and sorry I was not clear is that they have found a problem in preference swapping in the above the line part of the voting paper, the relevant parts for EvEs STV are the voting preferences down the line used by blocks etc.. where giving out a list of preferences can result in the election of people with absolutely minor (in eves case) position 1 votes. For example let us say you, if you got elected with only 0.5% of position one votes but got elected on votes lower down in the ballots. In the Western Australia election they are talking about people voting for the sex party and their votes through back door preference deals being used to elect the motor sports enthusiasts senator. What it boils down to is election transparency and meeting a minimum number of primary votes to be able to get elected. I hope that is a little clearer. But I will let you know what occurs with that. Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

As an added bonus, the issue delayed selection solves-- selecting an officer before you've seen how CSM works together-- is resolved by role-swapping being much, much easier when it doesn't go along with external ~stuff~. I am still not sure what you hope to accomplish with this change. You will still have a "Designated CSM Buttmonkey" (previously known as Chairman), and a "Designated Minutes Buttmonkey (previously known as secretary). You can change the name of the positions or you can call them nothing at all, but the responsibility of the positions remain. That which we call a rose, etc, etc. How does the CSM plan on letting the playerbase know what the new "internal structures" are? Or do you consider public knowledge of the "internal structures" part of the "external ~stuff~" that you claim is "divisive"?
Mynxee The Retreat 29	Posted - 2014.05.07 14:20:10 - [46] - Quote It make sense to remove the roles of Chair and Vice Chair since they were offered no special perks or powers or even defined roles anyway. Rotating responsibilities for note taking in Summits and other admin duties is a good idea as the CSM has evolved toward more members sharing the workload. I haven't read this whole thread (yet) because I'm rushing to get out the door so maybe it's been suggested, but what would seem to make sense is to appoint a CSM Media Liaison as a point of contact for interview requests from media folks who don't have contacts on the CSM already or who don't know exactly who to get in touch with for statements on specific topics. Just a thought. Best of luck to you all in your new term...it is great to see so many folks I voted for on CSM9. ====== My Eve blog, Outlaw Insouciant

But since there are so many ways to talk to people we will be dividing the duties. I (foolishly) volunteered to be the Eve-O forums guy. That is until I burn out. Then someone else may take up the banner. I will leave to the Twitter guy or gal to identify themselves (probably with a #CSM9 and #tweetfleet tag attached As other avenues of communication are identified we will have people fill the slots. Appearances on Podcasts are on an adhoc basis though with two or three podcasts with regular CSM9 candidates: Me-Podside and Eve Radio, Ali-DoW, Xander-Crossing Zebras. I think we have that covered. Once we have collected the 'where we listen and how to get in touch with us' info I will start a new thread for that here so you have it all in one place. But right now we are doing all the acclimation and NDA stuff. Biggest news is the the fact that CSM9 is not officer fit so not as worth ganking. m Mike Azariah-á CSM8 and now CSM9

Debir Achen The Red Circle Inc. Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork 92	Posted - 2014.05.08 04:08:59 - [51] - Quote (Off topic) Frying Doom wrote: (Australian senate STV) What it boils down to is election transparency and meeting a minimum number of primary votes to be able to get elected. I hope that is a little clearer. It's no so much complaints about primary vote, but that most Australian senate elections* allow (and tacitly encourage) a voter to put a single '1' vote for a particular party that results in a preference distribution for the entire ballot (which can be over 100 candidates) based on a submission by that party to the electoral commission before the election. In theory, the distributions are published & public knowledge. In practice, almost no-one is willing to got to the electoral commission web site and find out what chain of preferences their particular 'vote above the line' will follow. Now, there have always been preference deals on 'how to vote' cards ("if you put us in position 3 on your card, we'll do the same for you on ours"). The difference is that the results of such deals are now opaque to the average voter. So you can be surprised to learn that your vote for 'party I agree with who didn't make the cut' turned into a vote for 'party I violently disagree with' rather than 'another party I agree with'. Getting ansty about "0.5% of the primary vote" issue is simply a lack of understanding of how STV works. It's not about primary votes, but about blocs. A feature of all STV systems is to aggregate votes spread among a candidates in a bloc into votes for the single most preferred candidate from that bloc. And you keep collapsing blocs until the required number of candidates remain (plus 1, who is the last candidate to be eliminated). The real issue, if there is one, is about the blocs themselves being opaque so it's not immediately obvious how your vote cascades. Or you can do what I do and vote for every candidate individually, so you know exactly how your vote will cascade. * almost all Australian states plus the national government have two "houses". The population is divided into electorates which each elect a single candidate (via STV) for the "lower house". Then there's an "upper house" to which is elected a number of candidates via multi-candidate STV (exact same system as is used for CSM, except that some don't allow you to stop until you have completely filled the ballot). The national election divides this into state electorates, each of which elect 6 candidates per election. State elections usually have a single electorate for however many candidates. As such, if you're electing (say) 20 candidates, that means that each candidate needs less than 5% of the vote to be elected (actually N/21 + 1 votes, where N is total number of votes, or about 4.8%). Viewed this way, a 0.5% primary vote is over 10% of a quantum, a not insignificant amount (and everyone else you're competing with has a similar quantity of votes or they'd already have met their own quantum). Once again, a lot of the furore is proving nothing more than that most people's mathematical intuition is highly misleading. Aren't Caldari supposed to have a large signature?
Frying Doom 3659	Posted - 2014.05.08 07:19:35 - [52] - Quote Have you looked at those AEC preference sharing documents, I was amazed at how they were set up and trying to get an over all picture of how they are all interconnected was impossible, I mean you can follow what some of the parties are doing but it is all but impossible to remember all of them. Actually the 0.5% of primary votes and someone getting elected is one of the main reasons the senate committee was formed, the other being the lack of transparency.

The only document one actually needs to remember is the one you're planning to vote for. Or, you can vote manually. From my perspective, it looks like we put a mechanism in place where voters could substitute trusting their party of choice rather than thinking for themselves. And, unsurprisingly, there's now a call for a whole lot more mechanisms to try to regulate the original shortcut. So rather than delegate to a political party, we're now going to delegate to a political party plus a whole lot of complex and arcane rules created and administered by bureaucrats who are ultimately accountable to the most influential of the political parties. Or we could just do a little work and think for ourselves? Frying Doom wrote: Actually the 0.5% of primary votes and someone getting elected is one of the main reasons the senate committee was formed, the other being the lack of transparency. I don't recall claiming that having a law degree or being a community or union organiser conferred immunity to poor statistical thinking. Let's take a look at this. You have 100 candidates, and are electing 20. In a fully uniform field, each candidate gets 1% of the primary vote. However, it's not uniform. The #1 candidates for the major parties could easily draw 80% of the primary vote, leaving 20% spread among 98 candidates (think the big null-sec blocs in the CSM election, only much more so). This leaves an average of 0.2% among the rest of the candidates. Given that the average is 0.2%, 0.5% is looking pretty good. Eliminate a few of those minor candidates and that 0.5% can swell to the ~5% needed to actually cross the line. (Caveat - numbers are made up, but I'm in good company ;) ) Back to the CSM election, it should have been entirely possible for mynnna to be elected without a single primary vote. Candidates who make their quota are "removed" first, and it's not unreasonable to expect that the vast majority of Sion's surplus vote spilled directly to mynnna. Basically, people didn't know how it works, still don't know how it works, and let someone else decide what to do with their vote, but are absolutely sure that the process that they didn't pay attention to and didn't want to pay attention to must be broken because it produced an outcome that someone in the media has told them they should not have expected. Of course, we EvE players are smarter than that, so would never fall into that trap ;) Aren't Caldari supposed to have a large signature?
