Today Eva “Ankhesentapemkah” Jobse was removed from the Council of Stellar Management due to a breach of the non-disclosure agreement (NDA). We are deeply saddened but feel that it was the only possible solution in order to protect the integrity of the Council of Stellar Management. As this is a matter regarding confidential data we do consider this to be a private issue between Eva and CCP, therefore we are unable to comment further.
Discussion thread available.
Obviously I don’t believe CCP removed her because she “stands up for the playerbase” or promotes “transparency” (for the record, I don’t believe she does the latter). I don’t know what they considered as the NDA breach, though I’m fairly confident it wasn’t her blog.
If anyone has any actual information (and not endless screeching for or against her), please let me know.
UPDATE: “I want to emphasise that the NDA breach was not related to CSM5, and happened well before Ank took office in CSM5.” (per Dierdra Vaal). Hmm.
UPDATE 2: Massively’s article by Brendan Drain has a statement from Ankh:
All I can say at the moment is that out of respect for the CSM, the players of EVE, as well as the good people at CCP, I cannot give any details besides my personal conviction that CCP’s statement is not in relation to any of my recent publications, and that I do not share CCP’s conclusion that there has in fact been an NDA breach. I am currently engaged in following up this situation with CCP.
Still working to get more info.
UPDATE 3: DV has edited the post I quoted, which now reads as follows: “This is an unfortunate occurance. Also this would make mazzilliu CSM member.” However, eve-search has the original.
UPDATE 4: Ankh has updated her website with the following: “Today, CCP has posted a publication announcing that I have been removed from the CSM. An update will be posted tomorrow. You are encouraged to contact me personally through the contact page on this website.”
