Thom,

	Excellent stuff. We should analyze this and should come up with
requirements for our efforts.

|The text listed below was sent out today by the US Federal Election
|Commission's Office of Election Administration. The Voting System
|Standards
|contain much information that may be useful to the committee. This
|is *not*
|intended to suggest that the committee only consider US voting systems or
|requirements. I'm simply not aware of any voting system standards
|for other
|countries being available online. If anyone is aware of such a thing,
|please send us a link.
|
|The FEC press release is online at http://www.fec.gov/press/062801nvra.html

|The Federal Election Commission has released for comment the draft updated
|performance standards for computer based voting systems. You can
|access the
|Overview for these standards at
|http://www.fec.gov/pages/standardsoverview.htm The Overview
|provides a link
|to the draft standards themselves.
|
|We are seeking comments on the draft standards, but not on the Overview.
|The deadline for comments will be 60 days after our Federal
|Register notice
|is published.
