No.  The above two statements make it very unclear.

1) Right now as you say GNOME is helping Jody to participate in Ecma
2) Ecma is currently working on achieving ISO standardization of MOOX,
or as you call it, OOXML.
3) Thus, GNOME is  pursuing or assisting with ISO standardization of
MOOX, or as you call it, OOXML.

Gnome's position statement, for or against ISO's "one standard" policy,
should include a resolution of the above contradiction.
