In re the discussion on 5- vs. 10-year cycles, the ISO-IEC rule is "5": From
the ISO-IEC Directives Part 1, Procedures for the technical work, clause
2.7.1:
"Every International Standard shall be reviewed at least every five years
by the technical committee or sub-committee responsible for it, in order to
decide by a majority vote of the P-members voting whether it should be
confirmed, revised, or withdrawn."
And a minor nit:

Actually, JTC1 is Information Technology, with lots of subcommittees underneath
it. JTC1/SC21 (Subcommittee 21) is OSI.
