Thank you to share this private exchange on the list, 
I suppose you wanted some feedback, here are my two cents:
As an european citizen (like you), I can't understand why the US ISIC codes can be listed as an official property [1]

And not NACE codes, their official counterpart in the European Union ?
re. your 4 requirements, ISIC does not comply with #3 either

If ISIC code is useful to american businesses using GR, I bet NACE would be also useful in EU countries too...

Regarding "the open door to anything" argument, I don't think we'll see dozens of international products and services general classifications popping up everywhere
perhaps one or two more from asia or africa and then ?...

other things related :

- The CPV EU vocabulary (well an, EU-funded project) is already using GR [2]
- The EU Core Business Vocabulary effort could link to GR at some point [3]

Best regards, and thanks for all your work on GR

> The reasons for that is that keeping a vocabulary as small as possible is an important goal for us.
