List: I have updated the Voting System Requirements that were discussed in some lists and at the IVTA on Sept/Nov/2000 and published as a first draft in The Bell of November. The new draft is available at http://www.thebell.net/papers/vote-req.pdf . I am thankful for all the suggestions, in the lists and off-lists. Comments are welcome. The requirements are for voting systems. Other requirements need to be discussed for voter registration systems, for example. IMO, privacy will also be a BIG issue in voter registration requirements. One that is being infringed today by third-party voter registration services that transfer the voter data to the state but keep copies, which copies they are legally allowed to share with their 'affiliates' (read: anyone that signs a contract with them). Cheers, Ed Gerck
