As described in the Electronic Balloting Implementation Plan, CFO Diane
Middleton, W2DLM, Director Ria Jairam, N2RJ, and I visited Election
Service Company (ESC) in Melville, NY, on Tuesday.
We found them very professional, easy to talk with, and very flexible in
dealing with our concerns. Their technical systems and audit processes
appear sound. We were impressed by their sensitivity to security and to
accommodating their customer's needs.
Based on the consensus of the three of us to move forward, the E&E has
recommended that the ARRL execute a three-year contract with ESC to
conduct our Division Director elections. This will cover both paper and
electronic balloting.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
