BSI did the same thing in 2000, although at a more modest level, =A3200 incl. VAT for the programming languages committee. Even so there was outrage amongst members (=93we are working for free - they should be paying us=94) and a significant number of people withdrew from the committee. There was even more outrage when it was found out that not all BSI committees were being charged. After some forthright exchanges BSI agreed to drop the charge for the programming languages committee in 2005 but at the same time stopped providing a secretary to take minutes and reduced HQ secretarial back-up. Now we seem to be back to the pre-2000 situation. Provided you are on the ISO Global Directory of experts there should be no problem in your carrying on with WG5 as before. Cheers, David
