SUMMARY:
The
Technical Guidelines Development Committee (the "Development
Committee") has scheduled a plenary meeting for May 21st
and 22nd, 2007. 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 eight previous meetings. The proceedings of these plenary
sessions are available at http://vote.nist.gov.
The purpose of the ninth meeting of the Development Committee
will be to review and approve a revised 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 an initial draft of recommendations presented at
the March 2007 plenary meeting.
SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
The
Technical Guidelines Development Committee (the "Development
Committee") has scheduled a plenary meeting for May 21st
and 22nd, 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 draft recommendations for the next iteration of voluntary
voting system guidelines at the May 21st and 22nd, 2007 meeting.
