[odf-discuss] ZA appeals OOXML

[Christian Einfeldt]

Please correct me if I am wrong, but AFAIK, there are not enough appeals to
overturn the MOOX ISO status.  Even if the vote is overturned as to ZA,
there are still sufficient countries' boards that voted for MOOX ISO to
sustain MOOX's ill-gotten status as ISO, is that correct?

South Africa Appeals OOXML Adoption

OpenDocument and OOXMLSABS, the National Body member of ISO/IEC JTC1 for
South Africa, has filed a formal appeal with both ISO and IEC, challenging
the Fast Track adoption of OOXML.  With the filing of this formal appeal,
DIS 29500 is now formally in limbo (i.e., cannot become an approved
standard) until the appeal has been addressed.
