Via Groklaw there’s word that the Open Source Leverandørforeningen in Denmark has written a letter of complaint regarding OOXML. This is not a formal appeal as it was with India, Brazil, and South Africa, but nevertheless shows some of what is still happening within countries regarding the process.
I think OOXML will cause the greatest wave of change to how national standards bodies conduct themselves that we have seen in the last decade or two. Critical questions are being raised about process, transparency, representation, and accountability. If changes and improvements are to be made, they must be done within each country. Therefore I hope you have seen what folks in Norway and now Denmark have done to question how the internal system worked (or didn’t) and push for the transformations you think are necessary.


Denmark seems to have joined in (appealed). Venezuela for sure!
