We have repeatedly - following your input - taken this issue into our 
statements, especially in the negotiations on Internet Governance at 
PrepCom3 and 3bis. As you know, it was also included in the overall civil 
society statement on the summit outcomes: "The summit has also ignored our 
demand that the principle of the privacy and integrity of the vote be 
ensured if and when electronic voting technologies are used."

So, any suggestions and proposals how to follow up on this are of course 
welcome. We/you also might want to link up with Rik Panganiban who was 
trying to coordinate a CS working group on e-Democracy.

Best, Ralf
