EML - NEXT RELEASE

I’ve been reflecting on the question we discussed yesterday
about the content and timescale of the next release of EML and I must say I am persuaded
by David’s proposal to do a “quick” v6.1 update covering just
the audit area and leave everything else until a later release.   Can
I have any objections to this way forward by return please before we get too
far down that track.

 

Assuming everyone is happy with this approach I’m attaching
the following to start the discussions:

-         
An extract from our V6 Spec document of those bits
relating to how we have covered auditing to date;

-         
The submissions made by Neal in the last Public Review
that we held over to this stage;

-         
An extract from the Council of Europe Recommendation on
e-voting standards covering Audit.

 

Please throw into the pot anything else you know relating to
election audit standards.

 

At this stage let’s just focus on the audit requirements
and data needs rather than getting deeply into schema changes, that can come a bit
later after we’ve agreed a shopping list of changes.

 

Can
you provide you preferences in this link for the next call to review this
aspect
