[stdsreg] SDOs List for Public Review

[Bob Hager <BHager@ansi.org>]

I've posted a preliminary list (v1.0) of Standards Developing Organizations
at the following location:

http://www.ansi.org/reports/master.asp?room=70

This list could form the basis of our distribution list for public review.
While it only includes the acronym and full name of the organization, we
also have updated contact information for most of them.

The list was compiled (with overlaps eliminated) from the following sources:

+  A recently updated version of NIST Special Publication 806, Feb 1991:
"Standards Activities of Organizations in the United States".  Each
organization on the list was verified in 2002 for its existence and contact
information via the web.

+  ANSI Accredited Standards Developers

+  Diffuse.org Standards Fora List

+ CEN/ISS Survey of Standards-Related Fora and Consortia, September 2001
(http://www.cenorm.be/isss/consortia/surveyshort.htm).  To date, this list
includes only the U.S. organizations, but could easily be expanded to
include international.

Other potential avenues to consider:  
+  ISO and IEC Member Bodies
+  ANSI's Organization Member Council
+  Government Member Council
+  Company Member Council.
