ISO - International Organization for Standardization

[machorot]

.....The organization adopted ISO based on the Greek word isos (ἴσος), meaning equal, which i believe was derived from Macedonian word 'isto' (исто) meaning same.

Anyway, the point of this thread is to find out why the country description of 'the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia' is an international standard, and how this can be rectified.

It is no use having the majority of countries recognize 'Republic of Macedonia', when the above 'international standard' exists.

The successor to ZSM(Zavod za standardizacija i metrologija), is ISRM(Standardization Institute of the Republic of Macedonia), which is member of the ISO.

One of the responsibilities of the ISRM is representing Macedonian national standardization interests in the international, European and regional standardization organizations.

Very good point Machorot.
Clearly the ISRM has a job to do.

The point in having countries recognize RoM outside of the **RoM reference is to attain a 2/3's UN majority. With a majority we will be able to call our name to a vote and we will have enough recognition to override the temporary name. There is a specific reason why the government of Macedonia would pursue recognition of RoM when they are still specifically referred to as **RoM,.

It doesn't matter what ISO votes on if the UN name is overturned
