Thane, 
We have reservations because we do not believe the current schedule allows for sufficient time to complete discovery 
on a new claim.  If the Court enters the extension that Public Resource has requested, we believe that would alleviate 
this problem and we would not oppose your motion.  

Best,

Andrew, 

This is simply the most current version of one of the standards listed in the complaint. We have produced numerous 
documents pertaining to this standard, including the same categories of documents that we have produced for the prior 
versions of this standard and for the other standards identified in the complaint. Please let us know if you have any 
objection by tomorrow, so we know whether to inform the court that the motion is unopposed. 

Thanks, 

Thane

Thane,  Can you please identify which of the documents NFPA produced that bear on this standard?  That will help us 
put your request into context.

Counsel, 

You haven’t responded to our request regarding amending the complaint. Can you let us know by tomorrow whether 
Public Resource consents to this amendment? Since sending the email below, NFPA has produced documents relating to 
this standard, so we don’t see any reason why this amendment should raise any issues. 

Thanks,

Subject: ASTM et al. v Public.Resource.Org, Inc. -- Amendment to Complaint

Counsel, 

NFPA has recently become aware that Public.Resource.Org, Inc., has posted the 2014 version of NFPA 70, the National 
Electrical Code, on the Public Resource website. As a result of these newly discovered facts, NFPA intends to amend 
Exhibit B to the Complaint to add the 2014 NEC to the list of NFPA’s standards that Public Resource is infringing.  I am 
attaching a copy of the proposed amended version of Exhibit B.  We do not expect that this will cause any prejudice to 
Public Resource, as the legal and factual issues involving the 2014 NEC do not materially differ from the issues involving 
the other NFPA standards at issue in this case.  NFPA is prepared to immediately produce documents relating to the 
2014 NEC consistent with the documents it has produced and agreed to produce relating to the other standards listed in 
Exhibit B to the Complaint.   

We intend to file a motion to amend the complaint with the consent of co‐plaintiffs ASTM and ASHRAE. Please let us 
know if Public Resource consents to NFPA amending the complaint in this way, so that we can inform the Court whether 
our motion is opposed.
