I know that the national body is the normal place for individuals to go 
for Final Draft standards.

In our particular, unique case, we are:

1) trying to update an Internet standard (lowercase "s"), almost 
entirely for the purpose of adding support for ISO 639-3, which will 
certainly be the first, and probably the highest-profile, application to 
use ISO 639-3;

2) joined in this effort by the Project Editor for ISO 639-3; and

3) being reminded (or cajoled) multiple times by the Project Editor to 
check a copy of the FDIS for updated information.

Given all this, instead of each of us trying to figure out whom 
specifically at ANSI (or wherever) we need to contact for a personal 
copy, it seems more logical to me that the Project Editor might offer 
this group a direct link to the FDIS text.
