A concrete checklist: who votes (national bodies via SC22 then ISO), how progress happens (mailings three weeks before meetings, papers in HTML/PDF/ASCII, issues lists), numbers that matter (21 meetings over seven years, 50% membership jump after C++11, 1000 comments processed for the CD), rough schedule (mon subgroups, thur tentative votes, fri formal vote), concrete outcomes (TR1 folded into C++11, export implemented then debated, five-way poll for consensus, standard array proposed and adopted).
