I think I understand the difference between jargon and acronyms/abbreviations. My bad. I could have sworn this was a thread about 'ISO 9001:2015 Amendment 1 Published - Determination of Climate Change Relevance'.I wouldn't expect 'ordinary people' to be interested in where the climate change amendment comes from. In the OP jmech mentioned the TMB as the publisher of the amendment.
In post #8 the Joint communique was mentioned and linked.
Did you not read it?
In the guidance that I published on LinkedIn (twice), I described how this all works and included a link to the (forgive me) ISO/TMB/JTCG page that describes the JTCG's background to the change. Oh, there's also an 'About' link to this page that describes who makes up JTCG and its purpose.
In post #94 I replied to you, Jim on the role of the communique and over the next few posts the content was discussed and I am looking to see if we can get some clarification based on the discussion.
In replying to Bev D in post #121 (you are still keeping up, Jim, aren't you?
Perhaps if you can 't keep up or can't keep up with the linked material that explains all of this stuff then perhaps you should keep out of the discussion?
In a scene from Lord of the Rings, the trolls assemble to fight off the jargonista!Very brave!
It's a good point, Bev. As mentioned earlier, there are issues with the sheer volume of information out there. I did the article on communications and I might have a go at the 'How do standards get developed? piece.
There is a general point, though, that people in the discussion should probably do the background reading that is provided so that they are able to carry their argument forward. We are up to post #185 now. It is unreasonable to expect every post to include all the information and links to external sites that have gone before.
Or alternatively, the assembled trolls can continue to stand on the sidelines and throw rocks.
It remains painful that you don't even realize when you are not writing using layman's terminology. I wonder where it would be rated in the fog index.
