The rules of the ISO process preclude my/anyone giving out details; the rules say we must wait for a final consensus approved document. But I think it is OK for someone like myself who has not influenced the document in any way to say that I have been impressed with the entire process. The stove community should be proud that a huge amount of volunteer effort has been invested in producing about 7 different documents- most nearing completion.<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>Here is one slide from last week that summarizes where I am at for this forthcoming standard:<img apple-inline="yes" id="D7FF8FC1-6784-4A3E-8AE3-42751D5F2D6C" height="240" width="320" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:image002.png@01D2AC5D.81CE90A0" class=""> .
