Call for Volunteers
Voting equipment that meets the highest standards for quality, accuracy
and reliability is of vital national interest. The IEEE Standards
Association has inaugurated a new standards project, tasked with the
development of standards for voting equipment, project P1583. The Working
Group is now seeking technical expert volunteers to join the group.
The Working Group for project P1583 will develop a standard that
establishes requirements and evaluation methods for election voting
equipment. The standard will provide technical specifications for
electronic, mechanical, and human factors that can be used by
manufacturers of voting machines or by those purchasing such machines. The
tests and criteria developed will assure equipment:
· Accessibility
· Accuracy
· Confidentiality
· Reliability
· Security
· Usability
Volunteers with expertise in the areas detailed above are invited to join
this working group.
The next meeting will be held in Austin, Texas. Prospective working group
members may attend the meeting in person or via teleconference. Meeting
information is as follows, and an agenda is available upon request.
November 15, 2001, 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM ? Texas Capital Complex
Stephen F Austin Building, Room 118
November 16, 2001, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM ? Texas Capital Complex
