I reviewed and gave input once in a previous life for IPC back in 98.
Can't quite remember what standard it was now.
I believe Jack Crawford posted something on technet, and if anyone was
interested to get involved.
Doesn't help much ... Sorry.
Check IPC website I believe they offer some advice on this.

Brent

Another thought...
Has anyone on the forum ever worked with a standards committee?
Has anyone here been asked to?
I am a little curious about the process used to select the standards
committees, how they are formed, and how they are operated. It might be
that if the process of writing a standard and the procedures used to
select and solicit membership in a standards committee were better
understood by the designers community, there might be less suspicion
about how these decisions are made and implemented.
I have been an active (ahem) participant on this forum for a couple of
years, as well as a long-time lurker on TechNet. I can't recall having
ever seen a request for standards committee membership on either of them
(please correct me if I am wrong.) I have also never seen a request for
people to help with software development in support of standards until
the recent effort by us 'ol hippies. It seems that if the IPC needs
help from volunteers, ASKING would be a good first step. Their
communications skills are inadequate in an age of electronic media such
this forum.
My personal opinion is that the IPC doesn't understand the dynamics of
an individual membership organization such as the Designers Council.
They still think that the only support they can use are those provided
by member companies, and they tend to ignore individuals. And since the
Board of Directors are all corporate members, I don't see it changing
any time soon.
Any other ideas are welcome <;^)
