Comment :  Comment:
The draft standard requires
that "all voting system software
… (such as operating systems…) … shall be distributed on a write-once
media".

Recommended change:

The requirement to include COTS software on the writeonce media should be struck from the standard,

Rationale:
it unnecessarily bloats the distribution media, and by
definition COTS software is
readily available from other
sources
