"ISO is a non-governmental organization established in 1947. The
mission of ISO is to promote the development of standardization
and related activities in the world with a view to facilitating the
international exchange of goods and services, and to developing
cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological
and economic activity." http://www.iso.ch/infoe/intro.htm#What are standards
Also from the same page,
"In fact, "ISO" is a word, derived from the Greek isos,
meaning "equal", which is the root of the prefix "iso-" that
occurs in a host of terms, such as "isometric" (of equal
measure or dimensions) and "isonomy" (equality of laws,
or of people before the law)."
So are we to believe, that all people are equal as long as they from the USA? (Or
represent in some way the USA)
