The GAB definitely means Section 7.23 in the memo you mention, although they abbreviate that to just 7.23 and assume the clerks will understand.

We are all on edge about the voting process and all the nefarious things the Republicans are trying to do these days--photo ID, purging of voters, etc. This project of Wisconsin Wave is such a wonderful opportunity to find out whether Republicans actually used the vulnerability that goes along with electronic voting machines. My own feeling is that they may have used it in a very few selected elections that they considered very important, and Walker's election would qualify. It wouldn't be used routinely, as the Supreme Court recount showed. Electronic tampering holds such great risk if something unexpected comes along to expose them. In this case it would be Wanggaard's request for a recount and the observers looking at the governor's election results at the same time and noticing strange discrepancies. Whether there actually was election fraud in this case depends on what the counting finds.

Although in this case there was a misunderstanding shared by many people, we have to stay vigilant about attacks on our democracy. Thank you for caring.
