I agree the current CPM we have done allot for us and the game. I respect the views and effort they have put into everything they have done to further the development of dust 514.
I do not perch here before you to challenge them, I perch for the future and have many skills to take us into the next generation of mercenary warfare. with your votes I can take your views and ideals and put them forward for a brighter future.

No. Please see the post below. One I made in another thread:
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
Elections are and will be popularity contests. If CCP is seen to certify an elected body, the elected people will certainly see themselves as more "legitimate" than the current CPM and will act in such a fashion.
If CCP doesn't stick to any of the elected body's most minor requests, there will almost certainly be instant cries of "CCP isn't responding to my elected status as the legitimate and sole director of the future of this game!". Of course, many forum flames will follow this type of thinking and the community could begin to fracture.
I can smell the forum smoke now.
And what about corps that are small or even middle sized? And big corps? Will each get an equal voice? Will there be one representative from each corp or a handful from the mega corps? Many, if not all, would vote for guys they play with regularly, giving the really big corps a huge voice at the CPM table. There will inevitably be complaints that this elected CPM is using their position to work for changes that benefit their corps, race or agenda. What if the CPM gets stacked with people who want to run DUST as their own personal extension of EVE and will try to mold DUST into something that benefits EVE (and not necessarily the DUST community)? Would you ban DUST corps that are associated with EVE corps from voting?
I can smell the forum smoke now.
How would you run the election? Does each alt get a vote? What about people who make a bunch of alts (like the people who pad their K/D ratios)? What about people who make several Sony accounts? What would the length of term be? Years? Decades? Even a term of one year will cover 12 monthly updates and probably a few versions. That might be a bit too much power for a handful of people. And what if the next elected council wants to undo things that the prior elected council fought for?
I can smell the forum smoke now.
And what about the CPM members themselves? They will get bombarded with requests and demands for action because the community will see them as the conduit for their variously thought out ideas and angry demands. The candidates for CPM should heed that warning because they will become lightning rods for every fool and dreamer with an idea or axe to grind. I can see the piles of e-mails and in-game mails in the CPMs boxes right now. The forums are actually a good place to weed out the good requests from the stupid, irrational or unworkable ones. CCP and the current CPM can read these as well as anyone.
Elections seem like a good idea but the most effective, responsive human organizations are definitely not democratic (businesses, the military, the police, the fire department, EMS, the arts, NASA, the CIA, sports, etc, etc). None are run as democracies. Democracies work best at keeping things stable and middle of the road, not for bold, revolutionary, decisive action.
I think an elected body is a na+»ve aspiration at best and an invitation to chaos at worst.

You may want to wait a little before announcing your candidacy as we are still a little way off that.
Also, and I say this without any intentional malice or anything but I really dont know who you are. The video does indeed to a lot of boasting to a woefully overused soundtrack, but no real examples of anything you have done.
If you are serious about getting yourself noticed, there are many things you can do to help the community. The wiki for example, has many red links still or old information that hasnt been updated with later builds. These days I am quite busy at work so I havnt really had the time to give it the attention it deserves.
Also, you mention leadership and skill in your video. While they are very useful skills the most used skill you will have as a CPM is an analytical mind to see whats good and whats bad.
Just a few things to think about for anyone seriously considering running for CPM, I have a few people in mind that I think would be quite good and whom i would vote for should they run.

I know Derek only from some youtube video's and he made some valid points.
also he has a voice that that can clearly be heard over the mumbling of others.
He's yellow so easily recognizable as leader.
If i get a nice button for my vote i will consider it.
