Re: The Next version of ISO 9001 - Any news?
Welcome aboard, Bear41. Glad you find us so amusing.
Here, mainly.
We rely on the quality of the posts and jump on those that give inaccurate information.
Why not start early on? As far as I am concerned the earlier we, as consultants, auditors, implementers, get to understand any implications the better so as not to be caught by surprise. Mostly we get information through a forum like this but if the kind contributers point at webinars they are holding then I am grateful.
Perhaps you can add some real value to your contribution by posting what "You and Jack" think ISO 9004 should be.
Many CBs are active through their standards committees. I take your point about some CB auditors but some others are quite knowledgeable (and amusing!).
As a member of the US TAG, I find this discussion to be very amusing.
Where do some of you get your information?

ISO 9000:2005 has already been released.
ISO 9001:2009 will be revised to include clarifications ONLY -- mainly from the already published interpretations. This standard is still at the CD stage, so it's a little early for webinars.

ISO 9004:200X is being completely re-written. Lord knows when there will be international agreement on it. In February, the US TAG approved a version drafted by Jack West and myself. This will be submitted to SG 2 of T/C 176.
All but 1 or 2 CBs do not participate on the TAG, so any information from a CB auditor should be taken with a grain of salt.
. As some have already asked. The Design Specification (which I posted here at the Cove) for the ISO 9001:200
