Yes, it is BSI.
BSI kindly forwarded a slide show that I produced to ISO.
There was a good chance that it was to be presented at a plenary meeting 
in June 2020 but alas the meeting did not take place due to the COVID-19 
pandemic situation.
The slide show is available for anyone who is interested.
Here is a link

Best results are obtained by downloading from
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/localizable_sentences_research.htm
and reading using Adobe Reader.

The webspace is safe to use. It is hosted on a server run by PlusNet 
PLC, an internet service provider. I upload using ftp. The webspace is 
not on my computer.
Best regards,
William

By default, every input and output document is made available to 
accredited committee members only, and is stored in a repository that is 
password-protected.  The work of any ISO Subcommittee and/or its Working 
Group(s) is open to any accredited expert who is nominated by their 
National Standards Organization (or National Body, who is the official 
ISO Member) but that nomination comes with the strings attached –  rules 
of conduct, policies and procedures one must adhere to, etc. A Committee 
or a Working Group can make a decision to make their output documents 
public, but they have no rights to disclose any information they receive 
as input contributions, it is up to  sole discretion of the contributor 
to decide if they want to make their contribution publicly available.

Hope this helps,
Vladimir

Can you explain why please?

If something is submitted to a committee for consideration for including 
in an international standard, why is it confidential?

  Why is it allowed to be confidential?

Maybe there is a good reason.

Some of the output documents produced by the ISO WG (like e.g. List of 
AHGs) can be made available to the public, but it is again a Committee 
decision  to do so. When it comes to input documents, it depends on the 
source.

Welcome to how ISO operates. The JTC1/SC29/WG11 documents can all be 
found at
https://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink?func=ll&objid=8916126&objaction=ndocslist 
<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/C_boCYEnxytLYogPC0QzXP>
And they’re all under lock and key, accessible only if your country’s 
standards body has nominated you as an expert to participate in WG11.
