READ-ONLY SITE MATERIALS: Historical voting TWiki site (2015-2020) ARCHIVED from https://collaborate.nist.gov/voting/bin/view/Voting

Purpose

*This topic is for the discussion and development of the scope (use cases) and structure of the Next Generation VVSG.*

An initial document capturing preliminary thoughts on scope and structure is located here in PDF formats.
	VVSG Scope deals with specific Use Cases that have been initiated so far have individual topic pages to support related discussions.
	VVSG Structure deals with the structure of the Next Generation VVSG.**Voting TWiki Archive (2015-2020): read-only, archived wiki site, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)**

**ARCHIVE SITE DESCRIPTION AND DISCLAIMER**

This page, and related pages, represent archived materials (pages, documents, links, and content) that were produced and/or provided by members of public working groups engaged in collaborative activities to support the development of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0. These TWiki activities began in 2015 and continued until early 2020. During that time period, this content was hosted on a Voting TWiki site. That TWiki site was decommissioned in 2020 due to technology migration needs. The TWiki activities that generated this content ceased to operate actively through the TWiki at the time the draft VVSG 2.0 was released, in February of 2020. The historical pages and documents produced there have been archived now in read-only, static form.

The archived materials of this TWiki (including pages, documents, links, content) are provided for historical purposes only.
	They are not actively maintained.
	They are provided "as is" as a public service.
	They represent the "work in progress" efforts of a community of volunteer members of public working groups collaborating from late 2015 to February of 2020.
	These archived materials do not necessarily represent official or peer-reviewed NIST documents nor do they necessarily represent official views or statements of NIST.
	Unless otherwise stated these materials should be treated as historical, pre-decisional, artifacts of public working group activities only.
	NIST MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND DATA ACCURACY.
	NIST does not warrant or make any representations regarding the correctness, accuracy, reliability or usefulness of the archived materials.**ARCHIVED VOTING TWIKI SITE MATERIALS**
