CISPR SC I have a few irons in the fire.  CISPR 32 is being developed in
WG2.  This is a new (from scratch) emissions standard for multimedia
equipment.  CISPR 35 is being developed in WG4.  This is the immunity
counterpart to CISPR 32.  Of course, WG1 is still maintaining CISPR 13
and CISPR 20 and WG3 is working on CISPR 22 (with no work going on to
change CISPR 24 for the time being).  Yes, indeed, SC I is busy!

Yes indeed; this was one of the sets of interests I was meaning, but not
by any means
the only one. It's also one that is being (has been?) addressed in
CISPR/A, through a
document defining how to calibrate the CMAD. Undoubtedly it was a rather

hastily-thought out amendment, but I don't see that it deserved all the
opprobrium that it
got, and it was at least trying to address the problem. The problem
hasn't gone away,
but the solution is hiding in the corner.

I hope so, but it seems as though CIS/I has its hands full at present.
