The votes have been tallied and the delegates for the third Council of Stellar Management have been selected. Nine players have been chosen to sit on the council, and they will bring topics up to CCP that they feel need work in EVE Online. With 2,967 votes, Valentijn Geirnaert of the Netherlands is officially the CSM chairman.

The first meeting of the new council will be held in EVE tomorrow, May 30. It is closed to the public, but you'll be able to read the minutes. The members will then be flown to Iceland the week of Aug. 28 to meet with CCP.

As always, the dev blog entry is filled with interesting statistics regarding the voting process. For example, 27,848 votes were cast, with male voters making up 97.1% of the group and most votes coming from veteran players who have had their accounts for two years. Also, 38% of the players from Bulgaria voted in the election.
