Sept. 2007 MSOOXML Vote - A History
-
ISO press release
September 4, 2007 - Not approved:
A ballot on whether to publish the draft standard ISO/IEC DIS
29500, Information technology — Office Open XML file
formats, as an International Standard by ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission) has not achieved the required number
of votes for approval.
-
Microsoft press release
Today the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
released the results of the preliminary ballot to participating
National Body members for the ISO/IEC DIS 29500 (Ecma 376 Office
Open XML file formats) ratification process. The results show
that 51 ISO members, representing 74 percent of all qualified
votes, stated their support for ratification of Open XML. Along
with their votes, the National Bodies also provided invaluable
technical comments designed to improve the specification. Many of
the remaining ISO members stated that they will support Open XML
after their comments are addressed during the final phase of the
process, which is expected to close in March 2008.
