Ground rules and boilerplate:
The information above is provided for the information and use of ACM
members.
The information is obtained from the issue of ANSI Standards Action
designated. The intent is to include announcements that are likely to
be of interest to the ACM membership. For a given draft standard or
other reference, all information provided in Standards Action is given.
This listing will include, insofar as possible, relevant solicitations
of comments (announcements of availability for public review). As time
and resources permit, it will also include announcements of newly
published Standards, final action on Standards, and other relevant
announcements including, eventually, notification of relevant new
project initiations.
While a reasonable effort is applied to ensure the accuracy of the
listings, omission of important material is possible and typographic
errors are likely, so appropriate caution should be used.
The ANSI public comment process solicits comments "to ensure that the
views of all interested parties have been given full consideration."
If you choose to order and review a draft document, your response
should "specify whether you approve of disapprove of the proposal as an
American National Standard. If you provide technical comments with
your approval, indicate whether approval is contingent upon considering
them for inclusion (1) in the current proposal or (2) in future
revisions of the current proposal. If you disapprove, give your
reasons." Draft documents are not, in general, available from the
source indicated after the closing date for comments. Comments should
be addressed to the person or organization, with copies to the ANSI
Board of Standards Review (BSR), 1430 Broadway, NY, NY 10018.
Comments on draft ISO, IEC, or ISO/IEC Draft International Standards
should be addressed, in the USA, to Gary W. Kushnier, Vice President,
Standards Technology, at ANSI headquarters (address above). These
comments should be made considerably before the date given if you
expect them to have any impact. Outside the US, comments on these
documents should be addressed to the relevant national ISO Member Body.
ANSI Standards may be obtained from the ANSI Sales Department, 11
West 42nd Street, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10036.
ISO and IEC drafts and final Standards may be obtained from the
International Sales Department, ANSI, 11 West 42nd Street, 13th
Floor, New York, NY 10036. Place separate orders for ISO and IEC
Draft Standards. Order BSR proposals and newly published ANSI and
ISO and IEC Standards separately. Readers outside the US are likely
to be able to obtain ISO and IEC materials more efficiently through
their own ISO Member Bodies.
In only extremely rare cases (which will be noted if known) are these
documents available for electronic distribution. This distribution is
archived at BITNIC (LISTSERV) and at WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU (FTP).
