No. I didn't know about them until I looked at the link above. My
interest is in methods for open verification of the process. Sort a
Freedom of Information for voting records. What is needed to achieve
real verification in regulations, file formats, and software. They
seem to be interested in providing their own full solution to the
problem of actually conducting elections. When they have something
to offer, they will need work like I'm think of to have the correct
operation of their system verified. 

This is not "voter verified ballot" but "independent auditor
verified voting". I'm interested in the tools that will be needed
by the independent auditor(s).
