I know a whole bunch of people who are on an ISO committee, and not a single one of them is happy that their hard work will be locked behind a paywall.

- An_ISO_Dude 6y agoMost (if not all) people on the committees don't like the paywall. The accountants have to explain every couple years why its necessary. Then people seem to forget and we have to do it all over again. It's cyclical.
- lonjil 6y agoBut other standards organisations do just fine providing free standards, including fairly large and complex standards, so it doesn't seem particularly necessary at all. Hell, some ISO standards are freely available, presumably because standards that don't get implemented due to lack of access are kind of useless.
- passivate 6y agoWhat would be a comparable organization to the ISO?
- jonsneyers 6y agoThe ITU, for example.
- alacombe 6y agoFiring the accountants and all the admin staff would be a good start to save money. No need to save these jobs...
