A monthly brief on standards and compliance
Short, dated, and checked against the issuing body's own document rather than against somebody's summary of it. Free, not gated, and the back issues stay here.

How it is written
Three rules, and they are the reason it is worth reading
- Every date is checked against the instrument that sets it — the standard, the gazette, the Federal Register, the issuing body's own published document. Not a secondary summary, and not a vendor briefing.
- When something has not been decided, it says so. An honest blank is worth more to a planning calendar than a confident estimate that turns out to be wrong.
- Corrections are recorded on the page, dated, rather than made silently.
