The Ecma Technical Committee (TC) 39 is _not_ “responsible for the 
standardization of JavaScript”; it never has been (the first Edition of 
ECMAScript already reconciled differences between Netscape JavaScript and 
Microsoft *JScript*).  They are responsible for publishing working drafts of 
Editions of the ECMAScript Language Specification and related specifications 
for the Ecma (International) General Assembly to vote on, so that they can 
become an Ecma Standard.

The programming languages that carry the “JavaScript” name, AFAIK most of 
them without due licensing, are not the only (conforming) implementations of 
the Editions of ECMAScript.

ACK to the rest.
