Ralph,
The IEEE is a not-for-profit organisation, but if there is a chance
of making money they will do so. Traditionally you can still buy
withdrawn standards.
Having revised several old C62 standards the biggest problem I found
is that the IEEE loses the source text or graphics or both in the
passing years since the document was created. From these experiences I
then under took a mission to grab what C62 materials the IEEE still had
available and convert them into a Microsoft Word format. C62.41.1 was
one document I rescued in 2008. Thus the Surge Protective Devices
Committee (SPDC) does a Word document available that can be revised and
it would be published as something like C62.4.1.1 2019.
To your last question what does MSPD stand for, it's Multi-service
Surge Protective Device, a device that internally houses a collection of
power SPDs and signal SPDs all with a shared ground reference bond.
IEEE Std. C62.50-2012
multiservice (multiport) surge protective device (MSPD): A surge
protective device providing protection of equipment connected to two or
more services such as power, telecommunications, signaling, data, etc.,
with the respective conductors routed via a common enclosure in which an
internal shared ground reference bond has been provided among these
services during surge conditions.

I trust all the good background information in C62.41.1 doesn't get
lost when pull the standard in 2018. Hopefully it gets transferred
(and perhaps revised) to a new IEEE std.
I will hazard a guess that MSPD stands for Mains Surge Protection
Device.
