ICC announcement on new IECC process

[CodeWarrior]

Here is the ICC PR on the how the IECC will be written in the future. The ANSI process is fine.

Very possible, given the apparent dissapointment expressed by many on this change from a govermment concensus process.

Here is a commentary on the shift ICC made. I do recall ICC did not follow their own rules recently in referencing a new standard that had not been completed. Voters were asked to decide on something that had the potential to change -- it did by the way. We will see how the ICC handles the new development method for the IECC. I think a lot of people will be watching.
