This is a wake up call for me to provide some electronic bits 
beforehand.  David shouldn't have to conclude this from a casual 
around-the-room-request.

I would suggest the following for the Netherlands:

"The Programming Languages Committee of the Netherlands meets twice a 
year, in parallel to SC22 activities. Four language experts are members 
of the committee, for the following languages: C, C++, Cobol and 
Fortran. We vote, when requested by ISO, on language specific issues. 
In that case, the expert at hand explains the issues to the committee, 
and - after discussion - we vote as seems appropriate.

As an example, we voted "agree" on Corrigendum 3 of the Fortran 2008 
Standard in our meeting on the 7th of March, 2014, after I explained the 
major problems addressed in the Corrigendum and the work that had gone 
into it to fix them.

Aside from this regular work, the disbanding of WG23 led to quite some 
discussion on our mailing list."

Thanks, David, for you work !

Hope this helps,
