It
does appear to be accurate based on the sources quoted (Nichols, Election
Center) and also current information based on the dates quoted (Dec 15,
2000). I'm not familiar with "The Bell"'s integrity; perhaps someone
else can attest to that. However, the article does include a
statement from Nichols (CSC) stating that "they will finish existing work; they
are no longer accepting new applications."
This
doesn't bode well for any new revisions of GEMS that would require new
applications for certification.
Charlie: Can the current Nichols contract be
held open to include later revisions of GEMS even after they have finished
testing the revision they are now working on? Until a new
software certification shop is named by the authorities, it would be of great
benefit to us if we could keep our "Nichol's window" open.
