Hi John,
No one is “required”; however it’s a place for TC members as
well as non-OASIS members to “hang out” and promote the spec. Typically
consultants are more than happy to do this since it provides name recognition
and hopefully leads to contract dollars.

But who is expected to answer the enquiries posted on the
dev list, the TC or other subscribers?

Hi John et al,
Once a spec reaches OASIS Standard status a –dev list is
created for exactly these kinds of discussions. I will be requesting
establishment of the –dev list, and Carol Geyer will include it in the press
release. Inquiries such as this should be forwarded to the eml–dev list and
people should be encouraged to subscribe.
Regards,
Mary

Could someone provide me with the answers to the
questions below from contacts in Switzerland.
It's good to see that the use of EML is spreading but
it does leave us with the problem of responding to enquiries like this.
A topic for discussion at tomorrow's TC meeting.

Hello
John,
We
are trying to implement EML in our e-voting system. We first start with the
output of the e-voting system (schema 460).
Here
is the result with some questions of my colleagues.
Can
you tell is if we are on the good track and help us going further ?
If
you are not any longer involved in this subject, could you tell me whith whom I
should work that on.
Best
regards
Michel
Warynski

Dear sir,
We have been
trying to improve our system with the eml standard. In simple terms, we try to:
Generate an
eml output file for our e-voting system containing all the casted votes of a
referendum.
In this first
iteration, we are trying to generate the simplest set of results.
Let's assume
the following referendum operation:
(I'm sorry the
questions are in french, but I thought it was interesting to use a real world
example that has already happened in Geneva)
17 juin 2007
Votation fédérale (1 question)
Fed-Q1 : Acceptez-vous la modification du 6
octobre 2006 de la loi fédérale sur l'assurance-invalidité (5e révision de
l'AI) ?
Votation cantonale (2 questions)
GE-Q1 : Acceptez-vous la loi constitutionnelle
modifiant la constitution de la République et canton de Genève (Propriété et
responsabilité des Services industriels de Genève), du 25 janvier 2007 (A 2 00
- 9825) ?
GE-Q2 : Acceptez-vous la loi d'aliénation et
d'investissement découlant d'opérations de transfert d'actifs entre l'Etat de
Genève et l'Aéroport International de Genève, du 16 novembre 2006 (9827) ?
Votation locale
Meyrin (1 question) (Meyrin is a city in geneva canton)
Meyrin-Q1 : Acceptez vous le trajet
gouvernemental du tram?
Hereafter,
you will find our best effort files:
<<Eml_ElectionEvent_V1.xml>>
Eml_ElectionEvent_V1.xml
is generated in advance and essentially links the election/contest ids with the
official question formulation.
<<Eml_votes_V1.xml>>
The
Eml_Votes_V1.xml is the e-voting output containing the casted votes, ready to
be counted.
We have
several questions about these files. Essentially regarding the choice of the
ids.
- Are the
ids of the ElectionIdentifiers optimal ?
- Are the
ids of the ContestIdentifier optimal ?
- Could
these results be considered as a first version of valid and correct eml files ?
Best regards
Manuel Acevedo
