The standards governing the *languages* themselves are issued by ISO,
and usually adopted by all national standardization bodies (like ANSI
or DIN) under their own names, usually with only negligible changes to
the layout and the title page.

IEEE has nothing to do with this.  POSIX is not a language standard,
but rather a set of standards describing a unified Unix platform
including the C development toolchain.  It's essentially an add-on to
the C language standard.

By paying for them.
