The standard itself doesn't define region. You would have to check
back in ISO/IEC 2832-1:1993 "Information Technology - Vocabulary
Part1: Fundamental Terms" to see what ISO defined it as.

Clicking on the link "text version" doesn't work. It just takes me

Apparently you wrote this in response to something I wrote. I have no
clue what the above refers to, or why google pointed you at some
random text link.

If you know where there's a text version available please post the URL.

A text version of ISO/IEC 2832 ? No idea. Buy one from ISO?

The San Francisco Bay Area is considered a region,

You're pretty much making my point by this bollocks. the Bay Area may
be a postal region or tax region (for all I know) but its not a
geological region, nor yet a weather region.

FWIW, the IAU had no need to define that since it can be inferred from
an amazing property known as "common sense".

Common Sense says that Neptune hasn't cleared its neighborhood of
Pluto, and the Earth hasn't cleared its neighborhood of Luna, and
Jupiter hasn't cleared its neighborhood of Io or Europa or Ganymede
or Calisto. So none of those is a planet per IAU's 2006 definition???

Apparently you're unfamilar with the meaning of yet another phrase...
