RE: [election-services] High-Level Process Model

[TJ Rainsford <TRainsford@ifes.org>]

Greetings Everyone:

I am going to run our proposed Process Model past some of the election
experts here at IFES to see if we can get any additional suggestions and
comments.  I will forward my notes along before the end of the week.

My only comment at the moment is the Audit section of the process.  I
wonder if there is not multiple audit points throughout the process
(i.e. Audit of voter rolls; audit during candidate certification prior
to ballot production; audit of final tally).  Perhaps I am just opening
yet another proverbial "can of worms" but I think the auditability of
the system is critical to it acceptance in a democratic election
process.

Thoughts, comments?

I totally agree - I left out further interface points because I 
didn't know how you might want to apply the existing proposed 
interfaces to the new model...
