I am an active member of a well known ANSI committee, although not for
C++.  For every ANSI committee, ANSI makes widely available the name
of each representative, the company affiliation, and the nationality.

There are no secrets in ANSI.  I am surprised that the question is raised.

If it is important to you, please post.  I will find the name of the ANSI
committee for C++, the members and their affiliattion.  Be nice, the
typical ANSI committee has 50 companies with at least one principal
and maybe an alternate representative.  I don't want to spend my life
typing names.

Direct reply to me (pseger@rtd.com) will receive personal response.
