Fw: [election-services] Voting Information Project

What do we know about this project and the people behind it? Is it a threat, should we ignore it, or should we encourage them to come inside our tent? Views please.

BTW Our submission has now gone to ISO and Jamie will be doing a note shortly telling us the procedures and timetable from here on. When we have the date from ISO for their ballot I'll call a TC meeting to discuss our tactics on lobbying etc.

Regards
John

FYI. There is a new project backed by Google, Pew and the JEHT
Foundation that has developed an election markup standard:
