[ippm] ITU Recommendations are free on a permanent basis

[Al Morton <acmorton at att.com>]

IPPMers,

Minutes from our last meeting covered this subject, and here's an update:

> ...
> One way to reduce the differences between the groups is to share 
> information so
> that each group can comment on the other groups doucments. Following 
> the model of
> several other ITU-T study groups, SG 12 has created an easily 
> accessable FTP site.
> See: www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ippm/current/msg1163.html and
> www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com12/packet/index.html.
>
> Scott Bradner noted that working documents are what are covered by 
> the FTP site;
> right now finished documents are available for free.  Brian 
> Carpenter noted that
> the plan to distribute finished documents for free was approved last 
> January for
> one year, so it is not yet clear what will happen in 2008.

The ITU Council announced this week that their free standards 
(accessible on-line)
policy would continue on a permanent basis.
