First, after reading the document it is not "essentially unintelligible";
however, there are areas within the document as well as all other type (IPC,
MIL, etc.) documents that one can become confused over without proper
guidance or assistance. This is not to be confused with "essentially
unintelligible"

Second, Rudy just wanted to make a point!

Now, in answer to your question. How is a person supposed to rewrite
something that is "essentially unintelligible"????

Use layman's terms, use one's own terminology, ask associates, ask those who
would be using the document for their input, use common sense, make a rough
draft of what you believe the contents should be (in your own terms) and
pass it along to committee chair or other members in the privacy of the
committee's forum.

Rudy,

Jeesh, I'm thinking you made a point to the entire TechNet group, just not
than the one you intended...

Might I suggest, that in future submissions for ballot that you rewrite key
areas you consider verbose or unintelligible into a format you believe is
more effective, and offer that as an attachment to your ballot. Perhaps that
would be more effective than saying NO - because I just don't like it!!!

comprehension?

    Just in case anyone still has any remaining hopes that the IPC might
actually someday attempt to achieve something worthwhile, or perhaps attempt
to minimize the confusion in our world, I offer this e-mail message which I
received from the IPC in response to my negative vote on the proposed
Immersion Tin standards.

  It is important to realize, to get the full flavor of this message, that
the standard was submitted to me for my review with two options:
1. Accept
as written,  or 2. reject, with reasons given for rejection.   I
rejected,
because the standard was written in a way which was essentially
unintelligible, and I could not even figure out what they were trying to
say.
  I received the following message in return.
