I did not know about William Welty or the ISV until I randomly heard 
about it from a youtube video back in 2016: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scYlscgRvnk where he briefly described 
his work on the ISV. It seemed interesting and I wanted a hard copy of 
the ISV and would check the website (isv.org) a few times per year as it 
always stated a hard copy would be available "next year". Then I noticed 
a /downloads url was open to the public on isv.org 
(https://web.archive.org/web/20190414120747/https://www.isv.org/downloads/) 
This is where the files I posted came from. I had it on my personal todo 
list to email the ISV foundation and see if they needed any volunteer 
help with anything, but before I ever got around to that, the website 
went offline. I could not find any email addresses for William Welty 
other than ones that ended in "isv.org". From there I found a few public 
emails from the original translators and emailed them about the 
project's status, but the answers I got were mostly of the "I don't 
know" category.
