Hi Jan,

It is still a frustrating process, but some things have changed even 
over my brief involvement with IT-030 since July 2002. This committee 
might hold the record for publishing AS8015 and AS8018 in the short span 
of July 2002 and Jan 2005. As the ACS rep on IT-030 I continue to battle 
  on and your comments on this paper I am working on would be most welcome.
