RE: [election-services] Voting Information Project

["David RR Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Seems like there is already some overlap on the way they have defined candidate...

 

However - a lot of this stuff is very US specific and ancillary to the main vote processing - its logistics around voting.

 

Not sure EML works for them - else they would have used it?

 

Thanks, DW

John,

 

Could we just send them the reference to EML and EMC TC and see how they react?

 

 

Best regards,

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:
