PDFs

The following are provided for those readers who would like to download a printable albeit static copy of this RA, current as of the month/date shown.

This is a “slimmed down” version of the RA: it only contains the first pages of Appendices A through F. Any links to entries in these six Appendices will direct the reader back to the DIDO Wiki. DIDO-RA 3.0 PDF (Compact Version - June 2021) This version is much larger but still not the whole. It contains a truncated version of Appendix B, i.e., three pages only: “Appendix B”, “Technical Standards Bodies”, and “de facto Standards Bodies”. Any links to pages in Appendix B other than these three pages will direct the reader back to the DIDO Wiki.
