I admit I'm a real novice when it comes to the ISO standards approval process, but I have a question. I read yesterday in Quality Progress and also here, that the US TC176 team recommended disapproval of the ISO 9001:2000 draft 2 unless certain requirements are changed. Now I also read in Rick Clement's forum (ISO support group homepage) that draft 2 was approved (perhaps I am using the wrong wording, but that is how I interpreted the wording that was used). What is the scoop? Have other countries also disapproved this version, pending their recommended changes to the draft? I wonder about this because there are quite a few courses/support group meetings that one can go to and talk about the ISO 9001:2000 draft 2. Are these worth going to? (There also is fair amount of disparity in opinion about the effect of 2000 version on already-registered companies.)
