-
- The letters mean
-
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
- International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
-
- both have formed a
-
- Joint Technical Commitee No. 1 (JTC) (responsible for information precessing)
-
- which has a
-
- SubCommitee 22 (SC) for programming languages
-
- and there a
-
- Working Group No. 21 (WG)
-
- is doing the work (e.g. on C++).
-
- The members of these commitees are members of the national standard
- bodies (e.g. ANSI in the US of A, DIN in Germany, BSI in GB, ...)
