It wasn't a 'circus' (and I'm not directly involved in CISPR/I, so I'm 
not defensive). A genuine but very serious mistake was made. This threw 
out the synchronization (well, plesiochronization) of CISPR and CENELEC 
standards. It took a l--o--n--g time to sort out. Such events are bound 
to occur occasionally, even though once is too often.

An IEC/CISPR maintenance cycle can be anything for 2 to 12 years, but 2 
years is almost impossible, given the time required for comment and 
voting.
