Speaking of a next version ANSI standard, now would be a logistically
convenient time to get the next version rolling, if there's sufficient
interest. ITIC is about to put the J20 committee on ice for lack of
activity. Many of us involved in the first release have some interest in
fixing up the current standard and working on a follow-on, but we don't
collectively have the energy to go through it all again alone.

If there were a new generation of people interested in continuing the work
with renewed energy, then that would probably awaken many of us burn-outs
to participate as well.

So now's a good time, please let me know ASAP if you are interested. If
not, I'm sure that a future energy-inspired community would be able to
defrost J20 if/when necessary.
