Subject: Re: [election-services] EML WEBINAR

John,

Election night reporting I can do - we actually have a few now - not just CA.

Transparent as opposed to opaque - aka most elections today - see Russia, et al!

The more CDF is occurring the more transparency appears in the systems in any case as you are
able to trace information flows and their sources and verify those.

The election monitoring folks are the ones most sensitive to this issue of course.

Anyway - if we can see a way to factor in some comments I think it could be helpful.  

Otherwise the plan looks good to me.

Thanks, DW

OK if we are all content with this outline then the next steps are:

 

1.        We need to agree the outline of the presentations.  Views on the following plus any other ideas please.

·         For my opening slot I will build my talk around our Top Reasons flyer attached.  I think this says pretty much all we want to cover in terms of the need for standards and common data formats.

·         John Ross – can you do a piece on the UK’s CORE project?  Not sure where it has got to and whether all outputs from the Voter Reg systems are EML compliant?

·         John Wack – presumably you would have no problems with doing a short resume of the P1622 work?

·         David  – would you prefer to cover the California reporting project or shall I try and get New South Wales to participate?  Might be difficult for them time wise.

·         Peter – is there anything you could say about other Use Cases you are aware of?  If not we can remove that slot from the agenda.

·         David – for the Opportunities slot no doubt you could say a few words about other opportunities of using EML eg some of the stuff we talked about on the NIST workshop?

·         Neal – would you like to say a few words about Audit under the Opportunities slot?

 

2.       Then agree date(s) to enable Dee/Carol to do their stuff on publicity etc.   I would suggest either the 1st week of May or 1st week of June, any preferences?

 

David – not sure why we need the word transparent included and don’t see how it easily fits in anyway.   Suggestions?

 

John

John,

 

Looks great.  

 

One nit - would like to see the word "transparent" used somewhere WRT common data formats, but otherwise you hit all the major touch points.

 

Plus - I like the positioning - you make assertions that I see will interest people and bring them to the table - and want to attend the session.

 

Thanks, DW

David

 

Is the attached more along the lines of your thinking?   If this outline fits the bill let’s start sketching out the messages for each presentation to get the overall tone at the right level, ie avoid getting down in the weeds.

 

The webinar will be a good opportunity to build on some of the key messages coming out of the NIST workshop and hopefully we can attract some of those participants but we need to be careful about making it too USA centric.   It seems like our challenge now is to attract more implementations in other parts of the world.

 

John

 

 

John,

 

I think this is way too far "down in the weeds" for the intended audience.

 

The title needs to be something like:

 

"Public standards for elections, ballots and voter information"

 

Then the theme - 

 

Learn how election authorities in the USA, Europe and Australia are using

the OASIS Election standards to provide better more complete services for 

citizens and election reporting.  Understand the opportunities and how

vendors are enabling their solution offerings.

 

For the presentation - has to be use case driven - and the three we have are

ballot delivery, results reporting and voter registration.

 

Thanks, DW

Further to our discussions on yesterday’s call, attached is an outline of the Webinar as I envisage it.  Please feel free to provide alternative suggestions and changes to the attached.   We should agree the outline first before we get down to putting together the actual presentations and supporting material, and identifying the target audiences.

 

Dee/Carol – advance information on a webinar that we would like to hold in the next few months.  Your early input would be appreciated please.  One of the issues we will need to discuss is how to identify and target the right audience but that’s for a bit later after we have an agreed scope.

 

John
