Australia to pay for this but the committees do need broad

Isn't NIST a government agency in the US?
Answer: yes. Their website has a tag that because of lapsing of their
funding (the current shutdown) some of the site is not available.
It's part of the Department of Commerce.

I'm not finding actual standards documents, though. But LOTS of
information about how and why to be compliant and requirements, etc. It
appears that you need to go into each topical area and the standards are
managed by those subset groups, like forensics is by OSAC.

BUT the actual standards are by subscription through ASTM.

So after all those rabbit holes, I end up in the same dead end of $$$$
as we have here. What a short-sighted pity.
Some groups, very rarely, are making their standards available for free!
Wow! How nice of them. Actually, it is, given the rest of the bodies who
don't.

Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how do you
fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
