Final US OOXML Voting Result - Yes with Comments

  • Artikel

This is already everywhere, but I thought worth repeating for readers of my blog.

On the 24th the results of the United States vote for Open XML were made public. The INCITS Executive Board approved a “Yes with comments”  position in a 12-3-1 (yes, no, abstain) outcome.  

Here is a screen shot of the vote outcomes - the positions of each company are really not surprising.

It's good to see a number of key customers and vendors in support of the standard.  

This note from Forester is worth reviewing if you have not seen it before as it's pretty clear on why a few key vendors choices (specifically Sun, IBM & Microsoft) are prretty predictable.

I also scanned the comments, nothing new in anything I saw - they were what I would expect to see.
