    There haven't been any new reports from the ITTC for over 12 months.
    http://ittc.sname.org/

    Does anyone know why they are not releasing reports or other material lately?

    I had dinner with D.Hudson the other week...we touched on this briefly. I believe it is because the meetings were so late in the year no new proposals/reports etc will come out until the new year.

    Maybe he is still finishing his dessert. :p

    There's been no activity on the ITTC page for well over a year, and the committee members are not replying to emails.

    So, is the ITTC dead and gone?

    Or does it only re-animate every couple of years?

    No.

    It is sadly in the hands of the Japanese. They seem to be dragging their feet. They did chair a meeting or are going to submit "something" but have yet to do so...so nothing can be published, yet. But the Japanese only got involved because it "looks good"...but they don't make decisions, part of their culture!

    Hence the status quo.
