DRAFT AGENDA

1. (5 mins.) Administrative Updates (Allan Eustis)

2. (30 mins.) Discussion to determine extent to which bar codes are allowed as an aid to accessibility and an usability aid for total recounts.

See the December plenary white paper for the current barcode recommendation:
http://vote.nist.gov/DraftWhitePaperOnVVPRinVVSG2007-20061120.pdf
From the recommendations: "Use of barcodes: STS recommends retaining requirements from VVSG 2005 that permit the use of barcodes, with certain restrictions. STS recommends including a statement to the effect that barcodes should be avoided if at all possible."

3. (5 mins.) Followup on component solutions. See Matt Masterson's clarification at the end of this email.

4. (20 mins) NVLAP discussion. We can continue this at the next meeting as well and I will invite Steve Freeman to attend the next meeting.

5. Other issues.

Our next telecon is scheduled for: Friday, April 20, 2007 at 11 AM ET
