> In 2009, ANSI held the ISO training course, Drafting Standards in Accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, Using the ISO STD Template, in the US in conjunction with an AIF meeting. This course was well-received by participants and ANSI is considering hosting it again sometime in the first half of 2012. The course is intended for US persons engaged in drafting ISO standards and specifically those US persons serving as WG conveners, project leaders, project editors and WG experts. A detailed description of this ISO training course is included at the bottom of this message.
>  
> ANSI would like to gauge US interest to see if there is an adequate level of support in hosting the training course in the US. In order to make this course a worthwhile experience, ANSI will need a minimum of 12-15 students. Please note that this course will be taught by two ISO staff members and ANSI will need to reimburse ISO for their services. In the past, the cost for this three day course was approximately $1200-1400/student.
