Re: [election-services] Fw: EML : USA INTEROP DEMO

Peter

Thanks for your suggested re-wording. I'll incorporate those changes before getting the views of the conference organisers.

I've told Dee that unless we get agreement on the logistics before Xmas then we probably won't have enough time to get our act together. Personally I'm not prepared to cut corners and take chances on this Demo as it is a one-off opportunity to make a mark in USA and also because it needs to be more complicated than the UK one. The organisers are meeting this week so hopefully we will get some positive answers by the end of the week. If not I'll canvass views on going ahead or looking for another opportunity.

Regards
John

The wording on all 3 look fine from the US usage, except for Ballot 1's reference to DRE. The DRE term refers to lots of things; kiosk devices are ne type of DRE. Touch screen devices, regardless of location, are what most people associate with DRE. I would suggest changing that option to either just DRE or to split it to say Kiosk based Touch Screen and another that says Polling Location Touch Screen.

Has anyone worked out any logistics about this demonstration? I know we will be heavily involved in the elections during February and getting coordinated for this event will be a big stretch; I want to do it but it will take a lot of lead time to make it happen.

Attached are some suggested ballots for the Interop Demo. Probably two would suffice so preferences, alterations, alternatives welcomed please.

Would our American colleagues ensure the language is correct for the USA audience please.

We are still awaiting agreement with the conference organisers to conduct the Interop Demo but time is running out fast so I suggest we press on with our plans assuming it will go ahead as envisaged. I've put together the attached storyboard using our experiences of the Demo in UK and would welcome confirmation of who is likely to or definitely will be participating, contributions/alternative suggestions on the storyboard, and any other comments about the event.

I suggest we hold a telecon early in Jan to firm up the plans - how about Friday 4th Jan?

Hopefully by then we will have agreed the schedule with the conference organisers.
