SUMMARY: The Technical Guidelines Development Committee
(the "Development Committee") has scheduled a plenary
meeting for March 22nd and 23rd, 2007. The Committee was established
in 2004 to act in the public interest to assist the Executive

development of voluntary voting system guidelines. The Development
Committee has held seven previous meetings. The proceedings of
these plenary sessions are available at http://vote.nist.gov.
The purpose of the eighth meeting of the Development Committee
will be to review and approve a 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
Technical Guideline Development Committee meetings.
SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
The Technical Guidelines Development Committee (the "Development
Committee") has scheduled a plenary meeting for March 22nd
and 23rd, 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 and debate
draft recommendations for the next iteration of voluntary voting
system guidelines at the March 22nd and 23rd, 2007 meeting.
