You have to remember that, even after elected, a candidate - well, representative at that point - needs to be able to act in a professional manner and work with the other six representatives and CCP. A lot of times there will be disagreements about proposals because it's very, very rare that there are unanimous, mutual decisions made within the community (which is why candidates that say they will "represent everyone" will always be making disillusioned promises). To that end, having an ability to know how to compromise to get what you want is a great thing to have or you'll just be stubbornly butting heads with everyone for an eternity.

Since at least 4 CPM candidates are reading this thread I have a question for all of you.
You all have great aspirations and goals. What is the one thing you feel might cause the biggest issue; in other words, whats one/two of your goals you don't see being able to achieve and why? What compromises would you make to help this goal either get further along, or "band-aid" until a proper solution is met.

Aeon would you characterize your work in groups as taking a working with approach or as an assertive approach, or flexibly in between the two?
For example: how would you approach a situation where the majority of feedback from a number of sources conflicts with the direction your colleagues and or CCP is discussing?

To build on that: If you know you can't achieve the goal, what will you do about it? If you can't push for the large change, will you try to band-aid said problem? Or focus on other goals and put it on the back burner?

Out of the proposals I've made, getting the developers to speak more with the community is a hit-or-miss. We've all been asking for it for as long as anyone can remember but I think we've lost sight that there is a language barrier with the development team being in Shanghai, so while we got some great guys like Rattati and Wolfman (right now) throwing out feedback threads and hearing the community, that could be a little more difficult when presented with some other developers.
I have been talking with Saberwing about this though, trying to explore other avenues of accomplishing it using rudimentary stuff like the (completely unreliable) Google Translate, looking into Skype's Live-Translate, and if I can remember the next time I talk with him about it I'll bring up potentially giving their Chinese Localization guy a raise to do some over-time

I generally like to mix it up depending on who I'm with. Some people I talk to in my feedback circles seem to disagree with -everyone- if only to contradict that requires a little bit more finesse so I usually like to throw out whack-job proposals knowing they'll disagree and then scale it back until we get around the intended area/point. 9/10 though, people are usually pretty open-minded (assuming they're not trolling, which there's a lot of in IRC) and relatively easy to work with.
To answer your question simply: Flexibility in between the two with a strong preference for a 'working with' approach (I genuinely like logical debate =D)
Now, feedback conflicting with the direction of colleagues/CCP is an interesting thing. We've got examples of that in the past with the strafe speed being the way it is because of the community's overall love for it was an unintended consequence, a bug. I was adverse to it at first, not going to lie, but seeing how the game has progressed since then and how the playerbase is generally more happy without that artificial restriction is worth it, and worth reinforcing that fact to CCP.

You inevitably hold the cards when it comes to what you're looking for, though back on the compromise I'd say it's important to remember that everyone has differing opinions - you might agree on some but sure enough there will come a time when you and your representative disagree on something. I'd even wager that if they're going to agree with you on everything, they're probably BSing you
It's entirely possible to get your point across in a professional manner and "havin' balls" or "tellin' 'em like it is" only works in certain situations. If you use it all the time, it loses value. It should be a trump card if anything.

What compromises would you make to help this goal either get further along, or "band-aid" until a proper solution is met.
That's a tough one as it takes a bit of prognostication but I think for me the two big ones are (two sets of answers, first ref long term/Legion, second ref shorter term/continued Dust 514)
Legion 1. PS4 support - I understand there to be technical reasons why development for the PC is easier/less resource intensive. I'd love to see Legion deployment for the PS4, ideally side by side with it's release for the PC. Honestly however since development resources are not unlimited I doubt that will happen right out of the gate. Looking towards 'band-aid' fixes for this I see keeping the idea of PS4 support as a key goal. If the future release to console of Legion is on the mental radar for development then many of the potential barriers will never materialize because more dynamic/mutually compatible options will be selected instead.
2. Full persistence/character transfer - Let me be clear, CCP has already confirmed a lot of this transfer and that they are looking into how to do more. The challenge here is that there may be a push for Legion to "start fresh", but I opposed that stance. The Dust community has invested far too much into Dust for our assets, SP, ISK, AUR, LP, Standings, Stats, or Names to be wiped. My stance is 'transfer everything, warts and all'. There will be no perfect solution which will completely satisfy everyone, but we all play Dust now so moving forward with character persistence is a better option then having the Devs play favorites with certain sections of the community, because that's what partial transfers will amount too even if it is not CCPs intention to do so. Getting this complete goal has additional challenges in that not all items, stats, etc will be able to transfer directly as they may not exist, or may have a differing scale, within Legion. The 'band-aid' here is to move as near the mark as possible and make sure that the time investment (and in some cases IRL investment via AUR) of the community is recognized and preserved as completely as possible.
Dust 514 1. Additional Maps - This is a high resource project, and very likely outside the scope of current Dust development. However I believe that having new maps to represent the style and aesthetic of each race and provide some new play areas for the community would be a breath of fresh air for Dust providing a significant amount of value added. If full on new maps are simply out of reach I would urge CCP to look deeply at the possibility of making sure we have new sockets to cover all racial bases. While this wouldn't provide as much diversity as the full map experience it would still freshen up day to day play and be a real asset to the game.
2. Community Events Tools - Prior to FanFest there was talk of coding a toolset for the community team to allow more, and more diverse events, in game event progress tracking, and various other features. I do not know the completion status of this project but I believe it is as yet unfinished and may require more development resources to complete than is feasible for the current support of Dust. I'm still a strong adovcate for this happening, and even think it's a potential asset for Legion so believe it to be a viable choice from a business perspective (as it allows for more community input on the nature of events and refinement of that process as well as a possible port to Legion of those tools). Regardless of Legion the advantages to our community now are obvious and worth attaining if at all possible. If resource constraints make that simply not an option the 'band-aid' here is to continue to work with the community team to find what tools are in their bag of tricks and encourage sustained presentation of community events throughout the life cycle of D514.

I was a diplomat for ANONYMOUS here in Dust 514, that's about as far as my political experience extends (I truly hate politics as much as I try to be a politician ). Thing about it though is that if you approach someone in a friendly, professional manner, a lot can get accomplished and I think I made a lot of headway with that approach while I was at Fanfest. The fact that CCP Rouge wasn't aware of what ISD was, and then mentioned it in his posts following up the Legion announcement, means we've made a -LOT- of progress toward communicating those goals
