Subject: Where is EML required and used?
Hi John,
For the
white paper I'm putting together urging requirement of EML
in the U.S.
EAC's 2007 VVSG, I'd like to be able to cite current countries
or other
election jurisdictions where EML is now required or used.
Several items
are cited on the TC web page at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=electionbut
I was hoping there might now be others as well.
I thought I heard that
EML was used in the Netherlands, and is now required
or is being considered
for future requirement in the UK and EU.
Election Markup Language
(EML) Recommended to Member States by Council of Europeseems a bit dated
(2004!).
Any other URL's or other citations you could provide would be
most appreciated.
I'm also glad to report that I've had excellent
conversations with Ian Piper at
Premier (Diebold) as well as Peter Z. at ESS
and have been exchanging email with
Neal McClure at Hart Intercivic (which
may be acquiring Sequoia), and it sounds
like the vendors would LIKE to have
EML required as part of the EAC's new VVSG.
Now I'm trying to figure out
how we can try to help make that happen.
Suggestions welcome.
I hope
to send you a draft of the paper later
today.
~John
