SUMMARY: The Technical Guidelines 

Development Committee (the 

‘‘Development Committee’’) has 

rescheduled a plenary teleconference 

meeting for August 17, 2007. This 

meeting date serves as a rescheduling of 

the July 3, 2007 plenary teleconference 

that was cancelled. The Development 

Committee was established in 2004 to 

act in the public interest to assist the 

Executive Director of the U.S. Election 

Assistance Commission (EAC) in the 

development of voluntary voting system 

guidelines. The Development 

Committee has held nine previous 

plenary meetings. The proceedings of 

these plenary sessions are available at: 

http://vote.nist.gov. The purpose of the 

tenth meeting of the Development 

Committee will be to review and 

approve a final draft of 

recommendations for future voluntary 

voting system guidelines to the EAC. 

The draft recommendations respond to 

tasks defined in resolutions passed at 

the previous Development Committee 

meetings as well as a review of a 

complete draft of recommendations 

presented at the May 2007 plenary 

meeting. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Technical Guidelines Development 

Committee (the ‘‘Development 

Committee’’) has scheduled a plenary 

teleconference meeting for July 3, 2007. 

The Committee was established 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 15361, to act in 

the public interest to assist the 

Executive Director of the Election 

Assistance Commission in the 

development of the voluntary voting 

system guidelines. The Technical 

Guidelines Development Committee 

held their first plenary meeting on July 

9, 2004. At this meeting, the 

Development Committee agreed to a 

resolution forming three working 

groups: (1) Human Factors & Privacy; (2) 

Security & Transparency; and (3) Core 

Requirements & Testing to gather 

information and review preliminary 

reports on issues pertinent to voluntary 

voting standard recommendations. At 

subsequent plenary sessions, additional 

resolutions were debated and adopted 

by the TGDC. The resolutions define 

technical work tasks for NIST that assist 

the TGDC in developing 

recommendations for voluntary voting 

system guidelines. The Development 

Committee approved initial 

recommendations for voluntary voting 

system guidelines at the April 20th & 

21st, 2005 meeting. The 

recommendations were formally 

delivered to the EAC in May 2005 for 

their review. In September of 2005, the 

Development Committee began review 

of preliminary technical reports for the 

next iteration of voluntary voting system 

guidelines. The Committee will review, 

debate and approve a final draft of 

recommendations for the next iteration 

of voluntary voting system guidelines at 

the August 17, 2007 teleconference 

meeting.
