member, Paul Craft who resigned as a result of his retirement from the
State of Florida.
JW-Ron Rivest sent
email suggesting NIST / STS look into the gaming standards
- links to technical
standards and setup validation
- looks like there
could be a "good amount" of overlap
- Commissioners
Martinez and Hilman suggested it might be good to add a "ad hoc
sub-group" in the standards board. Four individuals named: JW Participated
in a conference call with the EAC and standards board reps.
- idea is to
look at procedural issues related to VVSG
- allows more
participation among the EAC sub-committees
- AE-HAVA; Alice
Miller, Sharon Turner-Buie, Helen Purcell, and John Gale; are TGDC members
representing Standards and Advisory Boards.
[Test reports deferred
to later in the meeting ]
Reconciliation on
aliases and over-votes:
- David Flater
discusses corrective actions on definition(s) re: double votes
- add improvements
to understand terminology more clearly
- refer to Mike
Shamos advice that reconciliation of aliases is handled by manual adjustment.
- Robust reconciliation
of aliases would imply that double vote resolution could be automated.
Term-ballot format:
- revision to text;
re: terms like ballot formatting, ballot style, ballot configuration
- concern that terminology
will be confusing
- in some cases,
such as "ballot formatting", term is not used (or very seldom)
anymore JW-ad hoc standards group could have input in such a case
- bottom line that
it is better to use "ballot style" terminology consistent
with VSS 2002
AE-status on "action
item" list from David Flater and Stephen Berger
- re: their outline
of test report not in "harmony" with each other
