Well, we are rolling first and foremost a Smalltalk standardization 
process and  ANSI as a standardization body was IMHO chosen more by 
inertia, because existing standard is ANSI. So, the race started for 
Smalltalk standard and yes, you started ANSI path, but that doesn't mean 
we need to continue that path, we are not too deep yet anyway.

If there is some better standardization body, we should at least 
consider it. Better for me is more open on final documents, not 
necessary less costly. That yearly fee is kind of a guaranty for 
seriousness.

What others think about that?
