and i am linda gerrell and serve the city and s.i.o. and director of department of technology. i just would like to chat about some of the technical considerations around an open source voting system and answer any of your questions. >> thank you. one of the first questions i have been asked over time is what are the city's project roles. i think it's important to understand how the city would be supporting this project move forward and so coit has funded the project and from 2017-2019. and we would definitely be using elections subject matter experts from the department of elections. they are the ones that understand the rouls, procedures -- the rules, procedures, and process around elections. from the technology and project management point of view, this is something the department of technology can add to the project. project strategy, work plan development and budget management would be a partnership between the department of elections and the department of technology. we would be moving forward together to make sure that we are addressing any risks, scope, and schedule. so
