FWIW, the legal dorks seem to be backing off. Probably because they did not see
a big pay day.
Agree, in part, with Mr. Woodgate that the industry 'gets what they deserve'.
But we have previously discussed the limits of corporate and individual
participation in the standards development process. The new CEO supports my
involvement, in both time and monies, in standards dev. During previous 15
months, have volunteered for six committees/groups; and have submitted nine
comments to various standards groups. three comments were acknowledged, and
one comment was given consideration (the three acknowledged comments were to
ANSI STPs). And kudos to UL for their support via the CSDS site.
Per Mr. Knute - also agree that the ANSI process seems to be run ok. But
participation for ANSI STP is limited for good reason - they try not to allow
any single interest category exceed 1/3, and most of these groups have more
than enough reps from industry/mfrs('Producers'). The other reason will never
serve on a committee is that I am not an expert on any single subject area, so
the respective chairpersons are probably doing well to not allow half-wit
redneck engineers, that want to write standards in Klingon, become members.
Finally, yes the company did design the product with consideration to 'future'
requirements. But I still need a report that indicates the correct version of
the standard.
In any case, it is a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Southern California, and
my dog misses me.
