In my past non-bitcoin experience ISO process in general is pay to play (or national appointments), and not really all that compatible what we'd consider to be an open public process. It's not unusual for people involved with competing clone systems to fraudulently misrepresent themselves as somehow representing 'bitcoin' in commercial settings, so I wouldn't be shocked to learn that was going on here too. | |

Their goal is not to influence Bitcoin but in particular come up with standard terms and semantics / processes. I think stuff like that has some value as large companies usually seem to inflexble to adopt to quick moving / nor standardized tech. As the progress is ongoing anyway I think it makes sense to help them understand Bitcoins needs. | |

I don't know exactly what ISO is trying to standardize, but I'd be very surprised if controlling Bitcoin's consensus rules is something they're remotely interested in. | |
