"Bridging the divide" doesn't mean we aren't allowed to clearly delineate between the game-side and the forum-side when those divisions are very real. There's still a separation there that we can't ignore.

I really think it's a bad idea to thrust RMBers to power in the CRS when they have no real connection to the legitimate forum government. I don't want to call him out in an insulting way, but we did that with Aram and then he ran for delegate on a platform that basically the entire forum government system isn't legitimate. It's very important to me (and many others, I suspect) that members of the CRS really understand why the forum community is important, why our government rests here, and why coups need to be opposed every time. I don't see how somebody can truly have those qualities if they aren't long-term members of the forums.

That being said, I would consider adding an observer member from the game-side. The Delegate is already integrated into it, as well.
