Actually, the contact for obtaining drafts is Lisa Granoien at the 
IEEE Computer Society (+1 202-371-0101).  NAPS does not distribute
draft standards piecemeal

Actually, the exact cost of overseas express delivery is debited from
each subscribers "account" as materials are shipped.  The $400 is a
ballpark figure that IEEE uses.

Here is the subscription form, in case anyone needs it.  It is
