SUMMARY:
The
Technical Guidelines Development Committee (the "Development Committee")
has rescheduled a plenary teleconference meeting for August 17,
2007. This meeting date serves as a rescheduling of the July 3,
2007 plenary teleconference that was cancelled. The Development
Committee was established in 2004 to act in the public interest
to assist the Executive Director of the U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC) in the development of voluntary voting system
guidelines. The Development Committee has held nine previous plenary
meetings. The proceedings of these plenary sessions are available
at http://vote.nist.gov. The
purpose of the tenth meeting of the Development Committee will
be to review and approve a final draft of recommendations for
future voluntary voting system guidelines to the EAC. The draft
recommendations respond to tasks defined in resolutions passed
at the previous Development Committee meetings as well as a review
of a complete draft of recommendations presented at the May 2007
plenary meeting.
SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
The
Technical Guidelines Development Committee (the "Development Committee")
has scheduled a plenary teleconference meeting for July 3, 2007.
The Committee was established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 15361, to
act in the public interest to assist the Executive Director of
the Election Assistance Commission in the development of the voluntary
voting system guidelines. The Technical Guidelines Development
Committee held their first plenary meeting on July 9, 2004. At
this meeting, the Development Committee agreed to a resolution
forming three working groups: (1) Human Factors & Privacy; (2)
Security & Transparency; and (3) Core Requirements & Testing to
gather information and review preliminary reports on issues pertinent
to voluntary voting standard recommendations. At subsequent plenary
sessions, additional resolutions were debated and adopted by the
TGDC. The resolutions define technical work tasks for NIST that
assist the TGDC in developing recommendations for voluntary voting
system guidelines. The Development Committee approved initial
recommendations for voluntary voting system guidelines at the
April 20th & 21st, 2005 meeting. The recommendations were formally
delivered to the EAC in May 2005 for their review. In September
of 2005, the Development Committee began review of preliminary
technical reports for the next iteration of voluntary voting system
guidelines. The Committee will review, debate and approve a final
draft of recommendations for the next iteration of voluntary voting
system guidelines at the August 17, 2007 teleconference meeting.
