The First Meeting

The first meeting of the Council will be held in EVE next Saturday. Though the session is closed to the public, you can follow the progress and discussions on the CSM forum section where all meeting minutes will be made public.

The Council members will be flown to Iceland the weekend of June 19th to meet with CCP after having deliberated and prioritized topics raised by players. In contrast to the mirth and merriment of our annual Fanfest, the time will be used to lay the foundation upon which the CSM will grow and evolve.
