Computing today are overwhelmed with the issue of standards.  Every
commercial and research products are concern whether their product meets
the industry or defacto standard.

I am trying to collect information hoping to do a write-up (if its not
already available) that provide a complete view of the STANDARDS
documents (today and the future) and the organization(s) that are involved in
defining/developing/promoting the STANDARDS.  Among the information that I
need are:

	1.) Existing (and to be established) bodies or organization that are
		involved in STANDARD(S), including:

			a. Members of the organization
			b. Organization Structure and Operations
			c. Process for producing the STANDARD documents
			d. Success/Failure 
			e. Future Plans

	2.) The relationship of all these organizations/bodies

	3.) The relationship of the STANDARDS

	4.) Opinions on this issue

Thanks.
