SUMMARY: The Technical guidelines 

Development Committee (the 

‘‘Development Committee’’) has 

scheduled a plenary meeting for March 

22nd and 23rd, 2007. The 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 

seven previous meetings. The 

proceedings of these plenary sessions 

are available at http://vote.nist.gov. The 

purpose of the eighth meeting of the 

Development Committee will be to 

review and approve a 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 Technical Guideline 

Development Committee meetings. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Technical Guidelines Development 

Committee (the ‘‘Development 

Committee’’) has scheduled a plenary 

meeting for March 22nd and 23rd, 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 

and debate draft recommendations for 

the next iteration of voluntary voting 

system guidelines at the March 22nd 

and 23rd, 2007 meeting.
