It would mean forbidding authors from authoring any of their work in their own public GitHub repos. It would mean forbidding authors from talking about P papers in conferences. It would mean members not being able to talk to coworkers if their employer is not an ISO member. It would mean removing wg21.link. And so on. Imagining working under those conditions is a brain hurting exercise.

While parts of that are correct, some parts are not; ISO doesn't have
rules that tell me where I can host my proposal work and who I can
talk to
about it.
