Maybe we are talking about two different things.

I am not arguing the PDF Association status in the ISO. I am arguing
the Liaison membership in the PDF Association. In the link I cited, it
clearly says that Liaison members of the PDFA do not have access to
drafts of upcoming ISO standards.

If any of us would like access to the drafts by becoming a member of
PDFA, then Liaison will not work for us. Unless there is missing
information or they hold exceptions.
