wayback links are absolutely the wrong thing to use.
Assuming Adobe does not repair their website breakage, then deleting those
non-essential links is probably the best thing to do .. it will be less
of a problem
in the future.

Hi Jay,

</div>
<div>I agree about using the ITU link. As to the Wayback links, I
think that is more of a general policy decision that I cannot
make so I will leave that to others. I do not know what the
constraints are regarding which external sites we should have
links to.</div>
