Summary: The Technical Guidelines Development Committee (the 
``Development Committee'') was established 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 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 and analyze information on relevant issues. These working 
subcommittees propose resolutions to the TGDC on best practices, 
specifications and standards. Specifically, NIST staff and Committee 
members will meet via the above scheduled teleconferences to review and 
discuss progress on tasks defined in resolutions passed at Development 
Committee plenary meetings. The resolutions define technical work tasks 
for NIST that will assist the Committee in developing recommendations 
for voluntary voting system guidelines. The Committee met in its eighth 
plenary session on March 22-23, 2007. Documents and transcriptions of 
Committee proceedings are available at: http://vote.nist.gov/PublicHearingsandMeeting.html.

Supplementary Information: The Technical Guidelines Development 
Committee (the ``Development 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 information gathered and 
analyzed by the working subcommittees during their teleconference 
meetings will be reviewed at future Development Committee plenary 
meetings.
