From wikipedia:

>The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web.

>The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a standards organization for the Internet and is responsible for the technical standards that make up the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP).

I would also add IEEE to this list. I think it's pretty clear these groups are international standards organizations, it think it's pretty odd that OpenID Connect wasn't circulated as an RFC and they went the ISO route.

Many standards are ISO standards as well as a standard from some other body. I have some involvement with the floating point standard, and that is mostly an IEEE standard, but the chair of the committee does ISO standardization as well for each revision.

What about JSON? Typescript?

This seems like a made up requirement.
