Some real big info in there. I'm sure you'll be hearing more about it in the future but until then I thought I'd make a thread to consolidate the comments.

Although I do not trust CCP anymore, and, being a member of Darkstar1 when it happened, I know that there was NOT a problem with the POS in the Sharkbait incident, I believe that this is most definitely a step in the right direction, and a fantabulous idea. Oh yeah, one more thing...
First!
Edit - Aww... second.

So, will there be some basic prerequisites/requirements that nominees must meet?
Can I be psychotic and still get on the nominee list, or does one of my multiple personalities have to be somewhat normal?

Honestly, I have always trusted CCP.
I wish I could be nominated, but I am too much of a fanboi to be trusted

Damn that liberal bias! I thought it was a well written article and very funny in some areas.
Quote:
So now, in a sociological twist, the company that makes Eve, CCP, based in Iceland (population 300,000), says it will tackle the problem the way a democracy would. In what appears to be a first, the company plans to hold elections so that players can select members of an oversight committee.
Quote:
The company will then fly those players to Iceland regularly so they can audit CCPÆs operations and report back to their player-constituents. And taking cues from transitions to democracy in the developing world, CCP says it will call in election monitors from universities in Europe and the United States.
Are you serious? I haven't heard CCP anounce this yet and this is really stupid. What kind of a professional and legit company lets non-employees audit them and look at the details of their operation? None that I can think of. Yes, they may hire an outside firm to do it, but they are professionals, not regular people that play a spacecraft game and take it too seriously. Why would you pay a lot of money to fly non-employees to do something you obviously don't want them to do? This won't save your credibility.
Are you going to pay the people of these committee for their working hours lost? How would they explain this to their boss, "sorry boss but I need to go to Iceland for a couple of weeks to tell some idiots how to run a game" "Are you serious? you're FIRED"
Your lack of intelligence once again surprises me CCP, good job again!

Nice things about the player oversight committee -- I predict endless bickering on the forums that will totally distract everyone.
What to do to keep restless citizens quiet? A committee!
Iceland is a little too far from GMT+8

I am sure that I can apply for some time off -- one of the benefits of being self employed. If I can, then I am sure that within those 200,000 non-macro players there must be plenty.
Ok, we found the first required qualification for an EVE independent monitor:
(1) Need plenty of free time

CCP is trying to get (even more) the player involved with the company and your first thing to think is how to explain your boss you need to be out for a couple of days ??
btw does your boss know you play EVE?? beter keep it a secret maybe he's a DEV and if he get mad you may get nerfed ships only for you or maybe you'll get fired because of what you do with your personal time.
P.S- aplly to be a goon you have the pre-required intelect and point of view they want

Wow, this is a truly amazing step for CCP. Obviously this shows how much they value their reputation and respect the playerbase. They are willing to go above and beyond what any business would accept as reasonable in a situation like this.
I am totally blown away.

I don't think you should be giving advice about INTELLECT if you can't even spell it correctly. Let me do you a favor and fix your sentence so you can seem like you have a little bit of INTELLECT.
P.S- apply to be a goon, you have the pre-required intellect and point of view they want.
Ah yes, much better now. I think BoB needs to have a intellect requirement so they don't recruit ******s like you.

I liked this quote:
Quote:
ôA government canÆt just keep saying, æWe are not corrupt.Æ No one will believe them. Instead you have to create transparency and robust institutions and oversight in order to maintain the confidence of the population.ö
What if we replaced government with CCP? 
I very much liked the ombudsmen idea.
