Today we scan the revision status of best practice titles with a compressed public consultation timeline. On “continuous maintenance” standards development platforms, for example, exposure drafts are open for comment for as little as 30 to 45 days. There is scant time to respond to the call for public comment. We set aside one session per month to review and respond. This happens most frequently with “stabilized” standards — i.e. titles that receive relatively little public response when released for review — which does not necessarily mean they cannot be improved and brought up to the moment.
