I must discourage the use of any 'real life' information such as MAC, Credit Card, or anything personally identifiable. The reason being that each country has its own privacy laws on what can and cannot be used to identify someone. By using someone's real life information, you can run into many legal barriers and would be outright rejected by CCP or Sony for fear of lawsuits should someone's information be leaked. All it takes is for one person to be burned by this and everything can come crashing down.
Its because of this that I strongly advice that any criteria be based on information that is readily available to the public (PSN ID, Game ID, WP, Time since character creation etc).
If you absolutely must use greater information then there should be a website created externally that has no connection to DUST or PSN information.
To do it right, you would have people voluntarily self identify themselves with limited personal information. I suggest the following
PSN ID
Game ID
Verification will be done via PIN Code delivered via text message to a mobile telephone number. Once a number is used, it cannot be re-used. This will cost money to setup but it is the best way to do this without running into legal issues or padding votes by creating a ton of alt accounts.
As for the process for election itself, this would be my proposal.
To be considered for candidacy, a petitioner must have the sign off from the CEO of a corporation of no less than 15 people (petitioner does not need to be in the corporation). A CEO can only vouch for 1 petitioner.
Once the petitioner has achieved this, they will post a thread in an election forum to petition for candidacy for CPM election. The candidate will write out a post about what they hope to accomplish as CPM and why they should be a candidate. The only response that can be posted in the thread is a Yay in favor of this person as a candidate. Someone can give their yay to multiple petitioners. The petitioner must receive X number of Yay's in their thread to then move to the true elections for CPM. |

We can debate the alternatives till the end of time but, what we really need, are deadlines from CCP.
- When do election methods need to be finalized?
- When is the deadline for candidate applications?
- When do elections need to begin?
Without this, we will just end up dragging this out and leaving no time for what really needs to be done. While we might not end up with the optimal election, it will be better than nothing or only having a couple days to elect the CPM.
