ITTF freely available standards

[Istvan Sebestyen]

Rex,

On the Ecma website every version should be reachable (current, older editions etc.). At least that is the policy. You may check it out for OOXML if that is the case (I did not ;-)).
If not, talk to Patrick. 

Kind regards,
Istvan

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_29500-1_2012.zip
is still alive.

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