They have high administrative overhead for all the tracking and whatnot. There is a lot of information flying around within the standards development world–drafts, votes, meeting schedules, publication catalogs, activities in others standards development family trees (ASTM, e.g.), prepping standards for publication, etc. ANSI & ISO have to manage that. I’m not saying that they don’t give value for dues. I’m just laughing at their claim that they pay for the development.
