John,
Welcome back.
The times / dates combos work for me - except for 9th, 16th.
WRT agenda item - "- align ourselves with IEEE 1622 " - I'd
respectfully say this is putting the cart before the horse!
However we can discuss possible options. The analysis I have is
this:
http://openvotingsolutions.net/EML/EML_EDX__Benefits_Comparison.pdf
but my sense is that this is somewhat 440 ballot
record facing - so I have no visibility into the EML 500 series
and how, if any, IEEE is doing that? If they are not aligning on
the counting audit side than thats' a big strike against them. My
suggestion would be to cover off IEEE by indicating that implementers
wishing to align could apply a stylesheet to convert IEEE format ballot
records to EML 4.x format - I believe that is what the PDF analysis
is saying is possible.
If that is a tenable approach - then the PDF plus a statement to the
effect that conversion is possible - should cover that off.
Otherwise - we're into looking (if we can get samples / specs' ?) at
exactly what IEEE is saying - and doing more detailed review. My
sense is here however that IEEE is a knock-off localization copy of EML
- to suit a few vendors implementations (tagname varients et al) - and
thus really IEEE should be producing an in-country specification for
use of EML - and not the other way around!

Mary - Thank you very much, it's almost like I'd never been
away!
TC Members
Thanks again for all the support. Now let's get this show
back on the road and quickly to make up for lost time.
I have in mind a work programme for the rest of this year as
follows:
- produce EML v5 to reflect the proposed changes currently posted
on the TC website - see attached
- get v5 approved as an OASIS Standard
- get EML approved as an ISO Standard
- produce a simple implementation guide for new users, plus some
case studies
- align ourselves with IEEE 1622
- promote adoption in new areas
Happy to hear of additions to this list.
But first let's get a TC meeting organised, either next week
or the week after. I no longer have access to meeting rooms and
teleconference facitilies, so can someone provide both for a meeting
please, preferably in London?
Dates - how about either 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 or 17 May.
What are your preferences please?
Time - 15.00 UK, 16.00 Europe, 10.00 EST, 7.00 PST?
Are these OK?
Responses as soon as possible please
If you have any other items for the agenda please let me
know.
Regards
John
