Samba guru Jeremy Allison reflects on Open XML standardization at LCA2010:
“One of the worst things that happened out of that, [is that the ISO] which was previously respected by people that didn’t know it so well, became absolutely despised,” he said. “There are some countries now thinking of pulling out [of ISO] because it is simply not worth participating in a process that is so obviously corrupted.”
I disagree, it is worth participating.

“I disagree, it is worth participating.”
It is not. ISO is a relique of the past, physical meetings and private discussions behind closed doors is not the way standardisation should be made.
ISO did not learnt for the OOXML fiasco.
