I will 
  include my response to John McLaurin and I believe that it will give some 
  insight to what needs to happen.
   
  “In regards to training in 
  Florida a plan must be well thought out.  
  We must be aware that system upgrades also have to be discussed.  I believe that some of the older 
  counties may not have the horsepower to run GEMS on their PC’s, but we will 
  have to look at on a case by case basis.  
  I do not have any record of who we charge for training and who we do 
  not, but we must identify those counties before we 
  start.
                  
  
  Not all 
  counties will be ready prior to November, but we must investigate a systematic 
  approach.  A planning session must 
  be identified and pursuant conference calls to get this 
  organized.”
   
  I do not 
  think we can wait until 1-17.  
  These counties have been promised this for 2 
  years.

  Florida Certification GEMS 1-11-14
   
  This is great news...do we 
  try and get FL up and running by Nov, since it is required they have software 
  in the county...would that mean different computers, training, etc...from our 
  end it is easy we just switch, or do w wait until the next upgrade to 
  1.17?  let me know what you're thinking.

  I have just 
  received notification from the Division of Elections in Florida that we have 
  received our  "Certificate of Certification for GEMS 
  1.11.14" dated July 27, 2001.   
  
   
  Copies of 
  the sealed certificate (#0107GLOBAL-01), and the Division's public 
  announcement letter will be sent the SOE in each Florida county on 
  Monday.
   
  My sincere thanks 
  to all involved in this process, especially Nel Finberg, Jeff Hintz and Tari 
  Runyan.  They did an outstanding 
  job in preparing us to pass this certification 
  effort.
