I believe no introductions are in order for the Regs [Regulars]

I am MILINT ARC Trooper. The “Mad Scientist” from Minmatar Space. I have been playing EVE since August 2020.

I am applying for CSM to be a voice for a broader base of New Eden. The foundations of EVE Online are the Industrialists, Mining, Hauling, and Exploration Communities. These activities feed into the PVE and PVP sides of EVE Onlines overall ecosystem.

I want to put a few things down first to get out of the way.

THE MILINT CSM Pledge

1. As a potential CSM member I pledge to complete my term to the fullest ability barring any IRL emergencies or server shutdowns. And use all tools and assets provided for the CSM to participate both directly and indirectly as the situation arises for meeting participation.
2. As a potential CSM member I would like not to be compensated with omega account time or PLEX during my potential CSM term. [If CCP so sees fit, they can give that to randomly selected verified newbros a “Scholarship” (the best kind of ship for a newbro) so they can enjoy EVE online for the duration of my potential term.] The reason why I am doing so is that as a paying customer of my own account, I would rather be a representative in that regard and not having compensation cloud my judgements during my term. I believe the only compensations or note to my potential service, that are justified are unique skins for CSM made for each election. And bound to the accounts of the CSM member [not resellable] and a unique medal of service on our capsuleer public records.
3. As a potential CSM member I pledge to not accept a CCP job offer until the end of my term is completed. I believe it is not fair for players to elect CSM members and then to have them literally vaporize from being a representative into a CCP developer. And in some cases not being replaced by runner up candidates who should have done the job fully. I believe if you are in talks with CCP for developer duties minor or major, community or even volunteer/intern; one should not run in the CSM election because that colors not only their representation but also has alterior motives of being hired due to closer contact with the developers. We should represent our fellow gamers as CSM.
4. As a potential CSM member I pledge to create an avenue of communication for fellow capsuleers on ideas and concepts that have been interesting the player base for some time. Considerations of NDA rules will mean this become more of a one way street, but we need to create an avenue of communication that will allow players to communicate ideas and feedback within reason. Potentially Memo based format could be employed. While discussions over said ideas can be had on the proper created channels. Also discussion of future representative systems will be of interest. Regional Representation in game for example.
5. As a potential CSM member, I faithfully uphold the values of the Minmatar Republic and its allies. Represent its interests and all its protectorates. And to protect those who do business and activities within its space and represent faithfully the tribes before the CSM. [Sworn before the Tribal Council in Pator and Minmatar Republic Parliament and Ministry of Justice and Tribal Liberation.]

“I can not make a promise, for something I can not keep.” That is main line of thinking and directive. But I would rather have boundaries and honest policy upfront.

But the Pledge will be upheld.
