Now the news is out and the elections due for July I can confirm I'll be running again.
The tinfoilers of you (sorry, couldn't resist  ) may care to note that July is a year since our election, a years term. Who'd have thunk it eh?
It should also hopefully underline CCP's continued commitment to the game to you all.

New blood is important, I'd be glad of some new faces should I be a successful incumbent. I will miss the guys I've worked with over this last year of course.
Just some free advice for anyone considering to run before electioneering really kicks in.
Don't think for one moment that you have power over CCP or even a veto. It's their show and their resources. If you have any notion or belief that you can arrive and start dictating terms, don't run.
While a certain amount of ego is required to even consider running for election, a 'what this game needs is me!' kind of mindset, you also need to know when to stifle it. Nearly all of our work directly with CCP and within our group is very cooperative and much more productive as a result. If you can't work in a group, don't run.
A thick skin and a high tolerance of BS is a must. You'll hear opinions about yourself that you personally won't recognise but others will hold them. If your a shrinking violet don't run.
Have an open mind. There are long standing conceits and beliefs held by the community about many aspects of the game. I had a few and they were blown out of the water once I was presented with actual facts and raw data. To quote the wise one 'you must unlearn what you have learned'.
Not a team player? Definitely don't run.
Have a sense of humour. There's things said, espoused and brought to the community's attention that are so far removed from the actual reality you deal with each day that the only reaction is to laugh. That or stress till you facepalm.
That's just the stuff from the top of my head. Anyone wanting advice on something specific then please ask. o7

Reign,
I'd like to answer your criticism about my 'not' being in the game. First of all I'm EU time zone so that may be the major reason you don't see me so often. The game is played near 24/7 all over the world. This is the number one thing a lot of players forget when claiming someone is never on. What is being proclaimed as 'fact' a lot of time is actually 'X player isn't on when I'm on'.
The hours I'm usually active in Dust are between 19.00 and 01.00 eve time. I quite often when I get a day off work just veg out and play all day. When RL allows of course.
What I advise to players wishing to check on myself, another CPM or a potential CPM is to add them to your Contacts List and check their activity against yours.
The last time I put in a request in via a ticket, my total play time came to about 1300 hours in game just on Kevall.
I also run D-UNI and need to use my Eve character Dennie Fleetfoot to do the admin. So often on there rather than in Dust.
The channels I lurk in are few to keep performance up on the PS3 but the channels I'm always in are Comms.D-UNI and Lucent Echelon.

What did our CPM(s) do? They provided feedback and player's perspective on CCP's questions regarding DUST 514. To be any more specific than that would most likely break the NDA.
Almost certainly break the NDA.
