Comment : | I feel compelled to note that the composition of the Technical Guidelines Development Committee as well as the numerous panel sessions in hearings leading up to the issuance of the VVSG failed to adequately allow representation of various key individuals, both technical and non-technical, who had repeatedly articulated deep concerns over the methodologies and approaches of both the FEC 2002 and IEEE P1583 standards. The omission of these positions certainly contributed to the failure of the VVSG to accomplish the intentions promised by the HAVA legislation, and this is most unfortunate.
