WTF?

jedec.org

1977- The JEDEC Tube Council disbanded and formed the Tube Electron Panel Advisory Council (TEPAC). With the
cessation of the Tube Council, only one JEDEC Council remained. It was nonetheless still Joint, in that it was sponsored by both
EIA and NEMA; but the acronym
JEDEC was now redefined as Joint Electron Device Engineering Council ("Councils" having been changed to to the singular
form.).

When NEMA subsequently withdrew its financial support from JEDEC Council, JEDEC became solely sponsored by EIA.

The New Era

1997/98-
With the rapid growth of JEDEC, a major step was taken to become the forerunners in electronic distribution, in doing so a
JEDEC website was created on the Internet at www.jedec.org....[SNIP]

Folks, that's a 10-YEAR GAP that covers the crucial period in the early 1990s when Rambus filed patents and alledgedly
attended "inform" meetings on an SDRAM standard (which failed to ever proglumate a standard). As a standards-setting body,
has JEDEC ever functioned as a recognized entity that actually produced standards? Did it even exist as a legal or
industry-recognized entity when these meetings supposedly took place?

Gene, I thought you left us? Good to see you back!
