Maybe we are talking about two different things. I am not arguing the PDF Association status in the ISO. I am arguing the Liaison membership in the PDF Association. In the link I cited, it clearly says that Liaison members of the PDFA do not have access to drafts of upcoming ISO standards. If any of us would like access to the drafts by becoming a member of PDFA, then Liaison will not work for us. Unless there is missing information or they hold exceptions. > -----Original Message----- > From: Germán Poo-Caamaño <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Germán Poo- > Caamaño > Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2019 7:55 AM > To: Leonard Rosenthol <[email protected]>; Tobias Deiminger < > [email protected]>; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [poppler] PDF 2.0 Spec (answer from FSFE) > > On Tue, 2019-03-05 at 16:27 +0000, Leonard Rosenthol wrote: > > Another organization option that is already a Class A liaison with > > ISO > > is the PDF Association (http://www.pdfa.org). > > Liaison is the one that fits better for non-profits organizations. > However, that does not grant access to the ISO drafts. > > Individual or Observer membership would be a straightforward > mechanism to obtain access to the ISO drafts.
