"Those Whom the Gods Hate, They First Make Mad": ISA kills the standards benefit

I innocently wrote a reply to one of the Ask the Expert questions this morning. I said, "One of the last remaining tangible benefits of ISA membership is the ability to view and download standards, including ISA5 and ISA20 (for personal use only)." Another person on our Ask the Experts discussion list corrected me. "Not true any more, since January 1."

Jon DiPietro, ISA leader and known maverick, confirmed, "Yup, You can view but not download."

From fellow ISA insurgent Jon DiPietro:

Hello Walt,

I've been working on a new web site called "Our ISA" and it is now open for business.  The idea is to create a combination of a clearinghouse for ISA discussions and a platform where everyone with an opinion (past, present, and non members alike) can express them.  Between us girls, I hope this scares the pants off of the leadership.

Okay, all you PR folks who are calling at the last minute trying to find out if I'm going to ISA...yes I am, but I am not making any appointments because I will only be there a day and a half. I already have several appointments and if I want to actually see things, I need to do booth drivebys and nothing else. Sorry, you should have called last month...and try reading the script with some enthusiasm, okay? Sheesh.

ISA's Compliance Institutes have been busy.

Submitted by waltboyes on Tue, 09/01/2009 - 15:57.

In a flurry of press releases the last few days, ISA's compliance institutes have been busy.

Yes, they are ISA's compliance institutes, even though ISA went to great lengths to distance them from ISA proper. ISA owns the Automation Federation. The Automation Federation owns the umbrella for all the compliance institutes, ASCI, which in turn, owns the compliance institutes.

Dizzy yet? Anyway, it all traces back to ISA.
