[Fsf-friends] OOXML failed to get approval of ISO/IEC

[Praveen A]

Great News! Hats off to all who worked hard for this.

"The five-month ballot process ended on 2 September and was open to
the IEC and ISO national member bodies from 104 countries, including
41 that are participating members of the joint ISO/IEC technical
committee, JTC 1, Information technology.

Approval requires at least 2/3 (i.e. 66.66 %) of the votes cast by
national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 to be positive; and no
more than 1/4 (i.e. 25 %) of the total number of national body votes
cast negative. Neither of these criteria were achieved, with 53 % of
votes cast by national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 being
positive and 26 % of national votes cast being negative."
