I move that the Board of Advisors recommend that the U.S. Election Assistance Commission adopt clear lines of authority within the agency so as to vest all policy making authority with the Commissioners, and that specifically all decisions regarding the NVRA (National Voter Registration Application) and any alterations, additions, and deletions regarding state instructions be made by a vote of the Commissioners.

Be it resolved that the Board of Advisors supports the proposed format of the next iteration of VVSG to adopt broad principles and guidelines. Subsequent system requirements and test scripts developed for these guidelines would not be subject to mandatory federal regulatory review but would be submitted to the Board of Advisors for review and recommendation.
