Good afternoon capsuleers!
The results of the 9th Council of Stellar Management Elections are now available.
You can check out a few figures on the voting, as well as the names of your newly elected CSM9 representatives in a new dev blog by CCP Leeloo here!
She will also be on hand in this thread to answer any questions you might have regarding the CSM. CCP Falcon -á || -á EVE Community Manager -á || -á EVE Illuminati

MailDeadDrop wrote: And this conclusion (low turnout caused by lack of awareness) is supported by what evidence? MDD
Mostly, by the feedback we've got from people who didn't vote.
Tarikla wrote: - 1 Announcment in Launcher, for most of the time second/thrid slide, so not really effective - 1 News at mid-election to inform that Elections were opened, quickly overshadowed by some DevBlogs - No "In game Login Screen Announcment" like there was every single year before - No Candidates who actually reached out in Game to High Sec. I remember having at least 1 or 2 CSM candidates sending Eve-Mails to as much people as they could, this year around no one did it.
Thank you for mentioning this. We are working on some of the stuff from this list and we will also be discussing this problem with the current CSM and with players of course! So if you have any suggestions, please feel free to throw them in my direction  CCP Leeloo | Russian Community Coordinator | @ccp_leeloo |

CSM8 was by far the most productive council yet and it has been a pleasure to work with them. We have released the raw data on voting, and if people want to speculate or run math on it then that's fine by us (:
You're right that CSM8 was really vocal and spoke a lot in the media over the course of their term, they were also pretty active on the forums. However only a small percentage of EVE players actually read our forums and news feeds. This is something we would like to change, but it will take time. It is out feeling that the downturn in votes is due to a lack of awareness, and we will be working with CSM9 to raise more awareness of the council and exactly what they do, and will be looking at new methods of communication to reach out to players that are currently not engaged with the CSM.

Freelancer117 wrote:@ CCP LeelooDoes CCPgames feel that there is a correlation between the low Voter Turnout for CSM9 and the late releases of both the CSM8 Summer and Winter Minutes ? Regards, a Freelancer I agree on the fact that the CSM Minutes report is not efficient in its current format and as been discussed during the Fanfest, we will review how, where and when we post MInutes.
However, I don't think that low turnout is related to either report itself, or when it is being posted. From my point of view, a lot of players simply are not aware of the CSM's existence. Another significant problem is that people don't feel that CSM is important in any way and this is related to the last but not least important issue - accountability. It is hard to tell whether a CSM member is doing his job well or not.
Everything stated above is critical and requires immediate review and this is something I will look into as the new CSM coordinator. CCP Leeloo | CSM Coordinator | Russian Community Coordinator | @ccp_leeloo |

admiral root wrote: Have you considered writing the bulk of the minutes before the meeting? Surely you already know what you're going to say and what parts of that you're willing to share with the playerbase? Just plug in the way each member "votes" and any comments they make - voila, instant minutes. Just add water CSM members.
It still doesn't show the attitude, effort, approach and all those pretty things. It is important to know not only what your CSM member did, but also how. I am thinking about something more visible. Maybe shorten summaries (that people will actually read). Maybe...video report? There are many options that we may consider. I won't give any promises, all I can say is that the current format of Minutes must and will change. CCP Leeloo | CSM Coordinator | Russian Community Coordinator | @ccp_leeloo |

I thought that answer to this question is obvious. Because this blog has been released to provide information regarding the CSM9 elections not regarding the amount of subscription on TQ. CCP Leeloo | CSM Coordinator | Russian Community Coordinator | @ccp_leeloo |
