Today it resumes. Preparations for the BRM in Geneva have already kicked off and heavy Microsoft lobbying will be applied to ensure that nothing interferes with the process of making proprietary formats something that is seen as 'open'. It is natural to assume that rules will be broken, lies will be told, and briberies may be offered. We have seen plenty of that before and if Rob's mental note is anything to go by, the party has just begun and there's plenty of Kool-Aid in the bar.
Within the next 24-hours, Microsoft will submit to JTC1 a set of proposals for addressing the 3,522 comments that accompanied OOXML's failed ballot last September. We'll no doubt hear a lot of yip-yip-yahooing on their end. Expect a major media campaign. I don't want to take away the surprise, but I'm hearing that journalists are being flown into Redmond next week from around the world for briefings on OOXML.
