Short one: apparently, when IAQG updated to OASIS version 3, they just deleted all the old OASIS tickets. Even the open ones.
Which is superconvenient, since IAQG claims to run metrics on its performance based on OASIS tickets, and OASIS tickets often prove the IAQG is a corrupt, incompetent gang of jaw-droolers. This also means I can’t track how many years (decades?) the IAQG has been ignoring two major open complaints filed in it against some big players.
Like the open OASIS ticket from 2020 on how BSI — potentially illegally — set AS9100 nonconformity “quotas” in order to improve their revenue.
Or the open OASIS ticket from 2021 on how the IAQG itself then — potentially illegally — started mandating AS9100 NC quotas, too.
Or the open OASIS ticket from 2021 against the Austrian AB Akkreditierung Austria about how its client, Quality Austria, keeps issuing ISO and AS certificates against companies it operates or its own consulting clients.
Or the OASIS ticket from 2023 about how someone from within IAQG, with inside knowledge of the upcoming “IA9100” rebranding, went ahead and gobbled up all the “IA9100” domain names.
Or the OASIS ticket from 2017 that revealed a CB had “downgraded” an AS9100 client to ISO 9001 in mid-audit, because they realized they couldn’t pass an AS audit.
When I log into OASIS now, all the old tickets are gone — wiped clean — without any trace.
