Thanks Shane for this feedback! I think this is something staff can implement.

    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:

    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,
