Does anyone know what organization is hosting the .net framework Common Language infrastructure (CLI) standards and where you can I go and read them?
It was originally submitted to ECMA. ECMA has in turn submitted it to ISO.
The CLI specification is ECMA-335. It was later submitted to ISO as ISO/IEC 23271:2006 and ISO/IEC TR 23272:2006. The specification includes the CTS, VES, CIL and the libraries, also specification of the metadata and the debug interchange format.
The other pieces of the .NET puzzle are specified in ECMA-334 aka. ISO/IEC 23270:2006 for C# and ECMA-372 for C++/CLI (note: no ISO spec for this one).
