The Votingtool would be “glued” to the domain name as follows: The customer creates an account with Votingtool. During this process, the customer’s e-mail address is verified. The customer then downloads a preliminary installation package, which is a single file with a generated authentication token. This file is placed on the webserver connected to the .voting domain name. The customer then sends a verification request to Votingtool via a web interface. This establishes that the user of the Votingtool is actually the registrant of the domain name. Once the token has been verified, the service is unlocked and the customer can download the Software Development Kit (SDK) using the web interface on his web server.
