ITTF freely available standards

[Rex Jaeschke]

This week, I'm at the JTC 1 Plenary in Lillehammer, Norway, and a few days
ago, I discussed this list with Henry Cuschieri from ISO. He was under the
impression that old versions of specs on this list remained there after new
editions were added. I just looked for all specs Fast Tracked from Ecma, and
only the most recent edition is shown for each. And as Caroline points out,
that is also true for 29500. So, I conclude that we cannot rely on having
access to any but the latest editions, even if the URL to them happens to
work, for now.

Rex,

 

FYI, I see that the front page now only shows the 2016 versions for Parts 1
and 4, but
http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c061750_ISO_IEC_295
00-1_2012.zip 

is still alive.

 

Do you know how long they keep older standards accessible at the former
URLs?
