@navi @humm The process is here: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/contributing.html

If you write the paper and the paper is clear in its rationale, I can present it at a Standards Meeting (as a Champion). This is a low-stakes way to make sure you can contribute; all you have to do is follow the steps at the URL up to writing and submitting a paper. They accept HTML, PDF, and TXT files usually. You can see papers here: https://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/wg14_document_log

If you write the paper and want to present it yourself, you need to notify your (or rather, any) national body that you intend to be part of that National Body. You get one (1) free guest attendance so long as you just e-mail your (any) National Body to attend.

I say "your (any)" National Body because National Bodies are something that you can join, but the rules are set by the National Body. For example, I'm American but part of the Netherlands National Body thanks to a friend, so I attend as an "expert" through that body. There's someone who's from the Netherlands but attends as an American because their employer is part of the American National Body, INCITS.

You don't necessarily have to join the National Body that corresponds to your nationality/citizenry. I avoided the American one because they charge a steep fee even for individuals, per year. But sometimes the burecracy is too much and someone would rather just pay the American National Body to Be American. It is also easier to contact the American and Canadian National Bodies to just notify them you'd like to become part of the body, attend once, and then never actually join just so you can use your one (1) free guest attendance.

You have to register to attend, whether you show up in person or virtually. The next meeting is in Graz, Austria: https://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n3399.pdf
