The science standards that de-emphasized evolution and removed reference to
an ancient Earth and cosmology were adopted by the board in August 1999.
These standards and those who voted for them were actively supported by
several in the Discovery Institute. It was also in support of these
standards that the ID Network was organized - they worked hard against the
recent rejection of these standards.
The standards adopted by the board in August 1999 were those replaced by
the recent vote.
Those standards can be viewed at

At this site, the August 1999 adopted standards (that were rewritten by 3
board members) are compared to the Draft 5 Standards (prepared by the 27
member standards writing committee) that were presented to the board at
that time. This marked up version enables you to see precisely what was
removed, and what was added to the committee's draft. It is very helpful
to see just what was changed.
