A quick update about the CSM. CCP has asked CSM member Vince Draken to step down due to not being able to devote sufficient time to the council. Lack of activity can have valid reasons and we're parting with Vince on good terms and with mutual understanding. CCP holds the obligation to ensure a fully engaged CSM at any given time which is why we are looking towards a substitute for the remainder of the term.

The CSM Code of Conduct states:

"Members of the council are expected to maintain a reasonable level of activity with the council.
Failure to abide by the code of conduct can result in early dismissal from the Council of Stellar Management."

We will be calling in a substitute using the previously stated method of filling the spot with the last candidate eliminated in the election (the next in line without any recalculation of vote distribution). We'll start there and go down the line if needed until someone accepts the spot and we will make another announcement once this is concluded.

The first summit of the CSM 12 term takes place next week at CCP HQ in Reykjavik.

The summit schedule has been published and can be found here.

Enjoy watching the Alliance Tournament this weekend.
