Candidates:
Soraya Xel (Yes)
Spartacus Dust (Yes)
Aero Yassavi (Yes)
The Black Jackal (Yes)
Tech De Ra (Yes)
Kevall Longstride (Yes)
Poonmunch (Undecided)
SILENTSAM 69 (Undecided)
Aisha Ctarl (Undecided)
Hellsatano (Undecided)
Dalmont Legrand (Undecided)
TEXA5 HiTM4N (Undecided)
Mossellia Delt (Undecided)
Yokal Bob (Undecided)
The Undecided Listings are primarily due to having not engaged them one on one. There's a lot of avenues for communication at the moment, and being the only current Australian Candidate often limits direct interaction.
However, through the Skype Channel we have set up at the moment, I have engaged many candidates and while we all have some differing Ideas, it is VERY clear we all have a) the same end results, and b) a deep caring about the game and wish to see it succeed.
I will come back and fill in the undecided listings as I get to know each candidate.

My updated list.
Undecided are, again, due to not being in contact with the particular candidate a huge amount. Or I'm on the cusp of having talked enough with them to know them.

Going to throw out a revised listing. Since the withdrawal of some candidates, and the newer ones. I'm going to list my 'yes' votes and why I believe they'd be a good fit.
The Black Jackal - Having been gaming in MMO, RPG, FPS, Platform and many more types of games for many years, I bring a wealth of experience across a broad range of game genres and platforms. As well, I am studying Game Design via Open Learning (Proxy) Course which can give me an unpolished, but somewhat knowledgeable, eye toward possible future implementations. My ability to develop complex ideas on the base of other, smaller ideas, is a prime reason why I believe I should be involved. (Also since the Experts Poll assumes I'll vote myself anyway, I'm putting myself up here.)
Kevall Longstride - Brings an in-depth NPE ideal to the CPM1. His experience as leader of DUST University is an absolute must to have on the CPM1 for both shoring up DUST, as well as making sure a better, more involved NPE system is installed in Legion.
Soraya Xel - Similarly to myself, Soraya comes from a working background in software development, but with greater amount of hands-on experience. He is knowledgeable, but willing to admit that he doesn't know everything, and comes at situations from many different abgles in an attempt to achieve the best results.
Pokey Dravon - He's been with us from the start, and he knows the game practically inside out as much as any Closed Beta Vet. He knows what worked in DUST 514, what didn't, and knows how to implement ideas and present them in a great way for people to look at, analyse, and judge.
Zatara Rought - While most of the CPM1 Candidates have a solid basis in Planetary Conquest or End Game Content, Zatara has of the current crop of Candidates a higher degree of involvement and knows what works and doesn't. His input should be available, and possibly vital, in keeping DUST alive longer, and ensuring that the same mistakes are not made in Legion with regards to 'End Game'.
Adelia Lafayette - A newer candidate on the scene, but one I have talked with quite a bit. Coming from a raw Game Experience point of view, Adelia shows promise in not just his ideas, but in his ability to communicate, conference and discuss potential solutions and pitfalls makes him a valuable team member.
While all the above candidates have their individual strengths, the fact that we have all had intensive discussions on many different topics and been able to iron out each others kinks, rough edges, and actually operate together cannot be underestimated. A CPM1 that works together will always gain a better results than a CPM1 that, while individually strong, has no communication or teamwork.
The other candidates have either not been approachable by myself, have not joined the CPM1 Candidates Chat on Skype, or in-game, or have simply vanished after the FanFest 2014 announcement. If they wish to be considered in my own opinion (and some I'm sure would not), they will have to put themselves out there and be accessible by more means than just the forum posts announcing their candidacies.
