Rachel, There was an X12 membership vote recently to get the membership's consent to X12 becoming an SDO in it's own right rather than an Accredited Standards Committee with a designated Secretariat (DISA). That vote passed, and the Steering Committee prepared a new draft of the Operations and Procedures Manual (OPM) to present to ANSI for review before submitting it to the X12 membership for ratification. I believe that this ANSI notice was posted in association with the OPM review. I don't recall that the members of the Steering Committee were explicitly notified that ANSI had a public review period on the draft OPM. I don't know the answers to your "why?" questions.
For the record, I think this move on the part of X12 should have been done years ago, and was surprised when I first learned that X12 was not itself a legal entity (more like a minor child of DISA). I have had some concerns about the manner in which X12 has proceeded down this path and continue to work as well as I am able to see that due process and transparency are followed.
