Perhaps he could share his insights in a post to this thread? 

Could you please drop him an email (an email from me is more likely to
die in his spam folder).

BTW, I found this:

(Financing)

"140 million CHF per year is
the estimated cost for the operation
of committee secretariats financed
38 by member bodies holding these
secretariats
36 million CHF represents
the operational cost of the ISO
Central Secretariat financed
53% through membership fees
47% through sales of publications and
other income from services"

It would be really interesting to know how much exactly ISO gets from
sales of C++ PDFs (and whether making them free would really bankrupt
ISO)...
