Happy to help on this as well, but I don’t have a lot of time.

I agree that John’s work on risks is a good basis. As is David’s own work on architectures, which should address the risks John identified (and possibly others as well). I had to look it up, so for the benefit of others, UOCAVA is the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

David

Don’t NIST have a mailing list for this type of thing. Why do we have to come across it by chance?

Certainly we should submit a paper and I think Appendix B in our Spec doc, particularly the table at B2, is a very good basis. This risk analysis of remote/internet voting prepared by John Ross many moons ago covers the subject very well. Might be worth getting him to review and update it if necessary.

Do you want to have a go at producing a skeleton which he and the rest of us can review?

Will you be able to attend the workshop on 5 Aug on our behalf or do we need to line up a substitute?

John, just found this by happenstance.

Believe we could coordinate on a potential OASIS response here.

We have until the 16th July if we choose that option.

Could we see who may be interested on working on this?

Thanks, DW
