Comment :  "BEST PRACTICES"
 
My recommendation is that the use of the term " industry standards " be substituted for  the term " best practices ".  The term "best practices" can tend to be subjective, and in establishing guidelines  
that voting systems must conform to, a more objective standard, such as  
"industry standards," will have greater effect.
