| The ISO Document: Brazil's Appeal and ISO/IEC's Attachments 1 and 2 - as text |
|
Thanks to Groklaw's Steve Martin, we have Brazil's appeal against the approval of OOXML as an ISO standard, as text. It begins on page 11 of the ISO document [PDF] Groklaw published Wednesday, the recommendation memo to the TMB to toss the four appeals in the garbage. The memo lists Alan Bryden, Secretary-General and CEO, ISO, and Aharon Amit, General Secretary and CEO, IEC, as the authors. I thought it would be good to have a text version of Attachments 1 and 2 to Annex A, attached to the cover memo of the ISO document. Here is how they describe Attachment 1: Attachment 1 contains a summary of the distinct grounds for appeal claimed in the four appeals, together with an explanation from the ISO and IEC CEOs for each one. Attachment 2 is a continuation. So, they are a list of the various bases for the appeals. We can, therefore, compare their characterizations with the Brazil text, and we can see if we think their analysis makes any sense. We'll do the other three appeals as text too later, but let's start with Brazil's. |
