Taken from the white paper from CCP that tells candidates the requirements for running and what they expect to do if elected. All of the candidates (including me, vote for me!) can only do variants of the following only when elected. Be infromed forum warriors.
CPM OPERATION AND FUNCTION
The CPM is responsible for 3 major roles within the DUST 514 development process:
a. Input into High Level Planning and Roadmaps: The CPM will be involved in high level planning and have input
into potential release roadmaps for DUST 514. The CPM in particular will be invaluable in helping CCP target user
GÇ£pain pointsGÇ¥ that will require significant resources to alleviate. The CPM, as an external entity, will be able to
provide a fresh perspective on what can be done to improve the player experience in DUST 514. The infrequent
nature of this sort of planning necessitates that this will be a sporadic activity. When planning is set to occur the
CPM will meet with the Executive Producer and other relevant parties to determine the best method for them to
contribute to the process.
b. Feedback on Team Features: As teams develop features for a release, they are highly encouraged to share
gameplay relevant features with the CPM (using the Private CPM/CCP Forum) to get early, focus-group style
feedback. The CPM is uniquely positioned to provide timely and concise feedback, while still understanding that
the proposed features may change entirely or be cut from a release. The CPM will typically deliver their feedbackto teams within 48 hours, and a continuing dialogue will help ensure that features are as polished and GÇ£player-
proofedGÇ¥ as possible.
c. Community Advocacy: The CPM will have an ongoing role of collecting general feedback from the community
and high profile players. Their dual role as council members and players allows them a much greater ability to
gather the best opinions and ideas of the player base from sources beyond the official DUST 514 forum. Their
advocacy can take the form of official programs, analysis of the CPM council forums, and just general player
opinion picked up in the course of day-to-day play.

People talk about the CPM like they're expected to make final decisions on how to do what.
I'm trying to imagine some jackass standing over Rattati, pointing a finger and issuing commands without getting kneecapped or something.
Imagination not strong enough. Kneecappings always part of predicted outcome.
I think the way candidates present their ideas leaves that false impression of power. "when i'm elected i'll push for x, y, and z" pssh, yeah right. Rattati does Al the pushing you just got have some decent feedback to give him.
Also, because it's an election, people also think it's some sort of community government. It's not.It's ccp pushing the responsibility of choosing community reps on the players, instead of hand picking them. As well they should.

When I was elected I promised to push for PC 2.0
and if you were to ask the rest of the CPM, no other topic has had as much time spent in discussion as this.
Surely CCP was responsible for making the decision to agree to make PC 2.0, but from day one I was a proponent that PC is extremely important and should be a primary focus of improvement.
As a CPM you can do as little or as much as you please...I was responsible for scheduling meetings about **** that was important to me...and what was important to me was relayed by my platform.
Final decisions? Not at all, not even close...but to suggest the CPM have no clout?
I would heartily disagree.
I also know Judge personally, before and after the CPM. He didn't have to break the NDA to let me know talking vehicles was like sprinting into a brick wall. A cautionary tale if there ever was one. Not for voters, but for the people running. I'm dead sure he didn't expect half of the trouble he did. Dropping the cpm was the right choice for him. Dropships still haven't been touched since hot fix delta, would have been a year of his time pretty much wasted.
Both your story and his are true.
