Teleconference Agenda:
Note: The QA/CM paper (revision 3) is complete, pending CRT review. Track Changes (in the .doc file) documents all changes made since the plenary version.

Latest News on Reliability and Accuracy Benchmarks (David Flater): There are no modifications to this week's document from last week. David is currently waiting on feedback from the vetting Paul Miller is doing with NASED. Paul said the feedback he is receiving is pretty consistent. There might be small modifications, but nothing substantial. Based on this input, David will work to finalize document and harmonize to the official draft. He will make final changes to the draft in the time frame May 7 - 9. There will still be some opportunity for change before the July deadline. Paul Miller wanted to know if David planned on making any changes to the background assumption material that he had provided; only editorial changes, nothing significant. Some of the language Paul used will be used to help clear up some definitions. Quality Assurance/Configuration Management (Alan Goldfine): Please see the document referenced to in the email - the copy on the web does not include the track changes that were specifically left in. There were quite a few editorial and formatting changes, but only a few major changes that are pointed out. First, on page 6, requirement 2.1-a regarding the quality assurance manual's delivery deadline was changed to remove the statement "delivered before the start of the design and development process". There is no time specification. Second, on page 8, the list of critical parts and components was changed based on conversation with Philip Pearce. We added to conditions for critical parts and components, 1) components whose failure would violate a voter's ability to vote independently and 2) would impede the usability of the voting system by all voters. These two components support usability and accessibility. John Wack felt there were a few requirements that STS should review, such as physical identification of the system and the requirements about voting system configuration log. Ongoing Maintenance of Draft (David Flater): Nothing new - made changes discussed last week. Other Issues: John Wack suggested a meeting to over issues of concern in the VVSG for each subcommittee before the plenary meeting on May 21-22. There will be an STS meeting in two weeks on e-poll books. CRT and HFP are invited to participate in the meeting. Meeting
adjourned at 11:30 a.m.
