We would recommend that the work take place at ISO as well, so that others can then build on top of it as they have with TIFF/EP itself, and would also make it easier for Adobe to participate (if that is desirable by the community). However, we understand if the OGC or others would prefer some other formal SDO.

I can understand why a large corporation may prefer ISO, but for small developers like myself who deal with many different standards, ISO represents an impermeable wall. The result is that I rely on unofficial and/or outdated documents, or reverse engineer the spec myself.

My strong preference is to avoid ISO.
