The standard was "reaffirmed" in 1999.  See
http://www.franz.com/~smh/J13/.  After 2004 they apparently decided to
declare ANSI CL as "stabilized" which means they don't need the annual
meetings and everything is reaffirmed automatically.  CL is really dead,
I mean, stable now.  It probably also means that ANSI has deleted all
records that are older than 5 years and that there's no hope to ever see
the legal statement that the TC made to give ANSI the copyright.
