International Organization for Standardization, no matter where in the
world you are. Why do English acrynoms switch around like that? `Order of
Australia' becomes `AO' (although `Order of the British Empire' remains as
`OBE'...). But there is a huge bunch of them that do that and it isn't
French's fault because I understand it'd have to be SOI or similar in
French (a language I don't know so I could be wrong).
