If you’ve decided to follow the Council of Steller Management election, CCP announced the CSM 17 Candidates on stream earlier this week. Of course, if you’ve been watching the CSM Campaign sections of the Eve Online Forum, you probably knew who most of us were before the announcement.
If you’re new to Eve and this is the first time you’re hearing about the CSM elections, check this thread.

What are the Candidates Representing?
So, we were given these cool little score cards that look something like this. Of course, we knew that they were doing them ahead of time because we actually had to give 4 areas of expertise and a little blurb.
I managed to turn in my expertise, but I totally missed giving the blurb. So what you see on there, CCP came up with. I’m not angry. EveRookies.com is right there for everyone to see! On stream! Over 1,000 eyeballs on this site address!
The following is a list of all the expertise and the candidates that fall into those expertise. Please note that there were some that were merged into one area such as industry, market, and trade. The meme areas of expertise were not listed for obvious reasons.
Note: Most, if not all of the candidates can fall into more categories than listed. For example, I’m a FC in the NPSI community. I’m also the CEO of Eve Rookies. However, for simplicity sake I’m going with what is seen on the cards CCP has provided of the candidates.
