Re: [802SEC] PatCom Materials links broken
Folks-
I think those those among us who understand just a little about web programming
agreed the last time this happened that:
- There was no good technical reason for this to have happened.
- It should NEVER happen again
and that these conclusions were presented to our staff rep.
As far as I know this input was accepted. If not without agreement it was accepted without feedback, positive or negative.
It seems like we finally have our feedback from the IEEE.
It would seem to say: We don't care, we don't have to.

There doesn't seem to be a way to link to a .pdf view anymore, although the PAR can be downloaded in .pdf format the URL <http://prd-mypr-nodejs-1281583127.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/mypr-file/par/6271/mypr>.
