types of voting types covered by the Election Operations Assessment. 
These threat trees are intended to capture risks to the various types 
of voting systems and the possible mitigations. These threat trees feed 
into the Risk Assessment tool that will be used by the EAC and NIST in 
their work with the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines.
    The EAC Standards Board Virtual Meeting Room was established to 
enable the Standards Board to conduct business in an efficient manner 
in a public forum, including being able to review and discuss draft 
documents, when it is not feasible for an in-person board meeting. The 
Standards Board will not take any votes or propose any resolutions 
during the 12-day forum of February 8-February 19, 2010. Members will 
post comments about Phase II of the Election Operations Assessment.
    This activity is open to the public. The public may view the 
proceedings of this special forum by visiting the EAC Standards Board 
virtual meeting room at http://www.eac.gov at any time between Monday, 
February 8, 2010, 9 a.m. EST and Friday, February 19, 2010, 9 p.m. EST.
