I don't think I could have done a better job of writing a document that described why ANSI/INCITS should disband T13. What value does T13 add when all the future work is done by "secret societies", especially the SATA secret society? How is T13 not just an insignificant extension of the SATA secret society that gives people outside the process a false sense that SATA is developed in an "open standards" environment? Many of us know that the same people, respresenting the same companies, attend both the secret society meetings and the T13 meetings and at T13 meetings they can't say anything about future standards developement because it is all under one or more NDAs from those secret societies. Why continue this misrepresentation of how the ATA standards are developed?
