[poppler] PDF 2.0 Spec (answer from FSFE)

[Leonard Rosenthol]

German, that is not entirely correct.   It is entirely based on the type/category of Liaison.  

The PDF Association holds the highest class (A) of Liaison with the ISO and thus not only has full access to the drafts, but also has both voting and meeting attendance rights.   That's why I suggested it.

Liaison is the one that fits better for non-profits organizations.
However, that does not grant access to the ISO drafts.

Individual or Observer membership would be a straightforward mechanism to obtain access to the ISO drafts. I am leaning to Observer because is for organizations. I expect that would cost us around €750/year because I assume that KDE ev and/or GOME Foundation are small size organizations. Otherwise, we can try to get either organization to fund some developers as individuals.

Here the details and costs:
