another platform will be recorded. These recordings will be safely stored by the European Green Party, for the purpose of evidence.

For delegates and other member party invitees
The EGP and delegations will use the platform AntragsGrün (also called “Motion”) to submit amendments. The developer of this platform is in Germany, where the server is also located.
The online voting session will be done on a platform provided by Bert Beernink, who has facilitated the electronic voting at EGP Councils since 2012. He has developed a secure platform, which provides the following:
- The server where the session takes place and where the vote takes place is secured with SSL (https connection), and is located in Hengelo, the Netherlands
- When logging in (with 2-step authentication) the password is sent encrypted to the server via a salted PBKDF2 HMAC SHA-256 hash.
- Per account, you can only log in on 1 device at the same time
- When you log in using your email and password and complete the MFA verification, a unique token is generated which associates your current session to the user you are logged with.
- This unique token is used to validate if the logged in user is allowed to access the meeting.
- During voting this token is used to verify if the user is allowed to vote, and if this is the case, the token is used to store the vote.
- A user is only able to cast a vote if a valid token is provided and the user hasn't already casted a vote for the vote subject.
We will transfer name, email address, and role (delegate, voting delegate, expert, guest) to Bert Beernink, so relevant log in details can be provided to all participants. Bert Beernink will retain this information until the end of the meeting and will delete it afterwards. This information will not be used for anything else than provide the necessary information to participants and the EGP staff.
