The standard was "reaffirmed" in 1999. See http://www.franz.com/~smh/J13/. After 2004 they apparently decided to declare ANSI CL as "stabilized" which means they don't need the annual meetings and everything is reaffirmed automatically. CL is really dead, I mean, stable now. It probably also means that ANSI has deleted all records that are older than 5 years and that there's no hope to ever see the legal statement that the TC made to give ANSI the copyright. Helmut

I heard a sadly cute story about the subprime mortgage mess. Bank goes to foreclose on a house because owner stopped paying mortgage. Owner asks bank to show property deed. Bank lost it in all the securitization. Owner stays in home. - Daniel P.S. Compare the date of the last J13 and the first ILC... |
