Employers often pay flight tickets and other travel expenses, which for
a few people on committees, sums up to a good amount...

And employers, often, pay for this as well. :-)
Some printed standards are _very_ expensive, and just not affordable in
practice for simple people like me. (A few friends tell me that I could
get many for free if playing the proper cards, but I do not like games.)
Sometimes, I have the feeling that standards organisations seem to need
a lot of money, and run a non-negligible overhead. But I'm not really in
the field, and my intuition could be wrong.
