Security of Electronic Voting See: http://www.edemocracy.gov.uk/library/papers/study.pdf ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: Mark Rickard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Security of Electronic Voting Date sent: Mon, 12 Aug 2002 21:57:20 +0100 The UK Government's public consultation on e-democracy, launched 16 July, has now been enhanced by the publication of a study report on e- voting security by CESG - the information assurance group within GCHQ (part of the UK's security services). Comments are invited by the 31 October (the same date as the main consultation), but with a request that suppliers having an interest in the next round of UK experiments in e-voting (May 2003) should give preliminary views on the practicality of CESG's recommendations by end August. See http://www.edemocracy.gov.uk for the paper and the e-Envoy's invitation to comment. Mark Rickard Office of the e-Envoy ------- End of forwarded message ------- 2. eDemocracy Policy Online Consultation Summary, more First summary of online comments: http://www.edemocracy.gov.uk/library/papers/edemsummary1.doc After my own promotion of the consultation I received this note from the event facilitator, Stephen Coleman. I really encourage anyone with practical and idealist ideas about e-democracy and government policy/applications/funding _anywhere in the world_ to add to the event. Breaking through with innovative ideas or programs in one country is an important starting point for information age democracy reforms around the world. - Steven Clift, DO-WIRE I have included some of the subject lines from the consultation below ... From: "Stephen Coleman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: UK Government's e-democracy consultation Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2002 09:19:18 +0100 Members of this list are invited to contribute to the UK Government's online consultation forum to discuss its e-democracy policy. It is at http://www.ukonline.gov.uk and will be open until the end of October. At the request of the Cabinet Office, I am moderating this site and trying to ensure that there is a useful discussion which can feed into the Government's thinking about the shape of its e-democracy policy. There have already been some very valuable contributions on the site from key practitioners and thinkers in the UK.
