The overly late CSM Minutes have been released

http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/csm8-meeting-minutes-published/

Initial thoughts – they read and are laid out better than the last minutes, but are still too much in the format of “He said”, “She said”, “He said”.  While it allows people to see how each session progressed and what input each CSM member had (this was actually done very well), it bloats the document and makes it less effective at passing on information.  While I guess it means bloggers and forum warriors can write about the nuances behind their speciality topics, I think overall it makes the document too long.  It should be targeted at getting the maximum readership from the average EVE player – and to do that, it should be 70 to 80% shorter, and released within weeks.  Reading through several sections that interested me – such a reduction in size seems very achievable.
