Who is the X3J11 committee?

In the March issue of Computer Language PJ Plauger mentions one problem the
X3J11 committee had was a lack of "standards setting" experience amongst the
committee members.  He likens it to moving a piano, people move a piano either
0 or 1 time.  Most move one 0 times, and those who do move one swear to never
move another.  Same with committee's, once someone is on a committee they vow
to never be on another.

That rambling introduction brings me to my question.  Who was on the committee
and what were their qualifications?  And if Joe Blow wanted to be on one what
qualifications would he need?  And no I am not volunteering for the next
standards committee so you can stop jotting my name down right now :-)
