I have a feeling that some agencies didn't like the additions that were made as a result of Ethica's comments. Unfortunately, when something like this is created, which is completely voluntary and has pretty much no enforcement behind it, you want to get as many people as possible to support it before you make it public, so the stricter you make it, the more agencies waver in their support of it. Kind of like in Congress, when they secretly and privately try to make sure they will have enough votes for passage before they bring up legislation to be considered.

They stated that their comments were recommended additions to the proposed JCICS Standards of Practice. I was surprised that some of these recommendations weren't already in the proposed draft Standards that they had seen. I was rather concerned when I read Ethica’s comments.

What are the factors in play here? Why would JCICS not put these standards in place immediately? This really, really concerns me. What are the factors in play here?
Why would JCICS not put these standards in place immediately?
