[E-voting] Venezuela: Economist article

[Catherine Ansbro]

Margaret et al,

This is a great article, thorough and thought-provoking.  It sure shows how 
important VVAT is.  And it also shows how important it is to have absolute 
transparency in all stages (including inspection & testing of machines 
prior to election) so as not to undermine voter confidence.

At long-last I will shortly post the notes from our meeting in Dublin 2 
months ago.  For starters, putting out a press release about the use of 
VVAT in Venezuela was one of the items.  The publication of this article 
seems like an excellent opportunity to make such a press release timely and 
news-worthy.  (Voter Verified Audit Trail Confirms Accuracy of Venezuela 
Election; ICTE Urges Irish Equivalent for Future E-Voting)

What do you think?

Catherine
PS I'll post the rest of the "minutes" separately tomorrow so as not to 
dilute from this discussion.
