[odf-discuss] OXML an ISO standard in 30 days...

[Russell Ossendryver]

So we hoping that one of these members of ISO (
http://www.wssn.net/WSSN/listings/links_national.html ) i.e. Brazil,
Italy, India, Poland,  Belgium, and Malaysia logde a "contradiction"
within 30 days. Why would they not  since these counties have approved
ODF......?

I sent of some emails to folks in Malaysia to atleast notify the
"Department of Standards Malaysia"  of this deadline and try convince
them to lodge a compaint.
