Thanks for the pointer!

My guess is that other people would try a similar process to the one
that I used and also end up in the wrong place.

Educating everyone in the world seems really hard. Fixing the ICANN
pages and publication process is probably easier, but I can easily
imagine it taking many months if not years.

What seems relatively easy would be to put some text at the top of the
document saying:

"Please look for the latest version of this document at this page:

https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/rssac-publications-2014-05-12-en"

It's not great, because a human (or program) still has to search
through the list and find the most recent copy, but it at least gives a
hint about how to do this.

BTW, I love the URL which includes a random date in it, although I am a
bit disappointed that it doesn't have "pages/pages" in the path. ;)

Cheers,
