Not a cheap tome - but clearly they have assembled authoritative contributors.</div><div><br></div><div>I suspect this provides the real aspects that OSET is fixated with, rather than attempting to tweak software licenses as a solution.<br></div><div><br></div><div>David</div><div>==========================</div><div>E-voting is the use of electronic means in the casting of the vote at
political elections or referendums. This book provides an overview of
e-voting related case-law worldwide and explains how judicial decisions
impact e-voting development.<br><br>With contributions by renowned
experts on thirteen countries, the authors discuss e-voting both from
controlled environments, such as voting machines in polling stations,
and uncontrolled ones, including internet voting. Each chapter examines
a group of country-specific leading judicial decisions on e-voting and
their likely impact on its future development. Reference is made to
emerging standards on e-voting such as the Recommendation Rec(2004)11 of
the Council of Europe, the only international instrument on e-voting
regulation, and to other countries' case-law.<br><br>The work provides a
broader, informative and easily accessible perspective on the
historical, political and legal aspects of an otherwise very technical
subject, and contributes to a better understanding of the significance
of case law and its impact in shaping e-voting's future development.
The book will be significantly useful to anyone with an interest in
e-voting, in particular decision makers and officials, researchers and
academia, as well as NGOs and providers of e-voting solutions.</div></span></body></html>
