| Section : | 20.1.2 | Page no. : | | Line no.: | | Comment : | Also, the composition of the ITA is critical and has not been addressed.
If the tester is not also the end user of a system, a perverse incentive may arise: vendors may shop around for
sympathetic testers who do not rigorously test their systems [1].
The ITA must be independent of the standards writers and especially vendors, but not end-users. Thus, we recommend that the ITA include election officials on loan from their home counties for a period of time. The ITA’s task is so important that we believe such tours of duty are warranted. | |
