Hi
John,
Greetings from Tobago, where we would be heading for our pre-dinner rum
punch if we weren't in the middle of a storm.
The
list is looking very good. I was just wondering if we should make the style
of each bullet the same. This would mean starting bullet 5 with "Supports ...",
and bullets 6 and 7 with "Provides ...".
I'm
happy with the approach.
Cheers
Paul

Subject: [election-services] Fw: Top 10
Reasons for using EML
Hopefully the dust has settled now after the USA elections and we can
resume work on our Top 10 paper. Attached is the latest draft and
this reflects all the comments I've received to date.
You'll see from my previous e-mail below I posed a number of questions
about how we should take this forward. In my opinion we should take the
following course of action:
- I think we should just concentrate on a single global Top 10
list. Producing localised versions would almost certainly introduce
problems keeping all versions in line and retaining consistency of
messages.
- Having compared the draft List with our White Paper I think we should
issue the Top 10 list as a stand-alone paper but reference the White
Paper for further details. There is not a direct one-for-one correlation
between the Top 10 list and the White Paper but all points in the List are
indirectly covered in the White Paper. To make direct
cross-references would require a significant re-write of the White Paper and I
don't feel the effort required is necessary or warranted.
So can we now agree the content of the draft attached and also my
approach above please? Once I have that agreement I'll talk to Carol
Geyer about presentation and distribution of the List. Any thoughts on
those aspects would be appreciated.
Regards
John

Thanks for all the contributions to date. I suggest we now
pause work on this for a couple of weeks to allow some of our colleagues
to complete their commitments on the USA election and catch-up on these
discussions. In the meantime I'll consolidate the comments I've had so
far and look at linking the Top 10 list to our EML
White Paper.
When we resume discussions after the USA election
I'd like opinions please on the following:
- should we produce a single global Top 10 list, or go for a number
of localised versions that concentrate more on local concerns?
- do we issue this as a separate stand-alone document, or do we link it
directly to our White Paper, or do we integrate it as the front page of
the White Paper?
More in a couple of weeks.
Regards
John
