Comments on: India Appeals Against OOXML, Joining Brazil, South Africa, Maybe More http://techrights.org/2008/05/30/india-brazil-sa-appeal/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:00:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Luc Bollen http://techrights.org/2008/05/30/india-brazil-sa-appeal/comment-page-1/#comment-11353 Luc Bollen Fri, 30 May 2008 18:00:51 +0000 http://boycottnovell.com/2008/05/30/india-brazil-sa-appeal/#comment-11353 The text of the Brazilian letter, published by Andy Updegrove (http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=20080529150227123), seems very clear to me: "The Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT), as a P member of ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC34, would like to present, to ISO/IEC/JTC1 and ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC34, this appeal for reconsideration of the ISO/IEC DIS 29500 final result. This appeal is based on two main considerations: 1. Brazil considers that the BRM was inconclusive. 2. Brazil considers that the final version of the ISO/IEC DIS 29500 text shall be released immediately. [...] For all those reasons presented, Brazil kindly request that the final result of ISO/IEC DIS 29500 should be reconsidered by ISO/IEC/JTC1 and ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC34." The text of the Brazilian letter, published by Andy Updegrove (http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=20080529150227123), seems very clear to me:

This does happen (same with final votes on OOXML back at the end of March). I’m optimistically assuming that some filings were not announced.
