Hi Darren,
Here is the text for the rule (see 2007 IEEE style guide, section 4.3, last paragraph at
http://standards.ieee.org/guides/style/section2.html):
IEEE has strict rules concerning
the electronic posting of draft standards. It is permitted to place draft standards
on a password-protected site for access by members of the working group or task
force responsible for the development of the document. Draft standards shall
not be placed on a site accessible to those outside the working group. Public
review of the draft is obtained through specific coordination or through the
IEEE Sponsor ballot process.
The rule is straight-forward. You can join the working group by creating an account on
siswg.net, for free.
Cheers,
-Matt

Hi Folks,
IEEE-SA has requested that we restrict access to P1619.x drafts on siswg.net <http://siswg.net>. Now, to access the latest drafts, you need to log into siswg.net <http://siswg.net>
I don't like this policy. Matt, please push back against IEEE and
tell them that this place too much of a burden on participation and
therefore we will not implement it.
