An excerpt from the press release:

During processing the standard proposal ISO/IEC DIS 29500 CNI was observing the maximum openness and transparency of the whole process and created conditions allowing every interested person to join the expert discussion. All received suggestions were carefully discussed and their enlistment into the standard proposal considerably contributed to the improvement of its technical expertise.

    Actually, I didn't spot any cynicism in the CNI announcement.  Did you mean to say that you spotted it with cynicism? I know that you will discount this, but what I saw was that ECMA addressed the CZ comments in good faith, and CZ responded to an honest, diligent effort to improve the standard.

    Yes, but the point was not only to resolve the Czech comments (as you pretend) but the whole issues of the specification. It is all about hurrying now. It would be more appropriate to fix the specification and reintroduce it. It would not result in the loss of a lot of time. And there would be less objections to a fixed specification. I find it completely irrational to approve the specification in its current form and it would result in further havoc in the ISO process.
