Vote closes on draft ISO/IEC DIS 29500 standard (OOXML)

[Mrc Gran]

O ISO publicou o resultado da votacao desta semana:
Houve suficiente NAOs dos membros participantes para o draft do OOXML nao
ser aprovado, com uma reuniao final em fevereiro de 2008 (BRM) para tentar
resolver os comentarios.

Eu so' gostaria de confirmar o seguinte. De acordo com

http://www.iso.org/iso/about/iso_members/iso_member_participation_tc.htm?member_id=1579
Brazil (ABNT):
. JTC 1 - Information technology ( *O-member* )
. JTC 1/SC 34 - Document description and processing languages ( *P-member* )

o Brasil e' membro observador no JTC-1 e participante no sub-comite
JCT-1/SC-34.

Portanto, o voto NAO da ABNT nao contou como voto participante na votacao
desta semana, que ocorreu no contexto do JTC-1, e  vai valer como voto
participante apenas durante o BRM em fevereiro de 2008.

E' isso mesmo? Por que o Brasil nao e' membro participante do JTC-1? Isso
enfraquece a posicao da ABNT durante votacoes no contexto do JTC-1.

[]s,
M.

Vote closes on draft ISO/IEC DIS 29500 standard
http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1070

A ballot on whether to publish the draft standard ISO/IEC DIS 29500,
*Information
technology – Office Open XML file formats*, as an International Standard by
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission) has not achieved the required number of votes
for approval.

The five-month ballot process ended on 2 September and was open to the IEC
and ISO national member bodies from 104 countries, including 41 that are
participating members of the joint ISO/IEC technical committee, JTC
1,*Information technology.
*

Approval requires at least 2/3 (i.e. 66.66 %) of the votes cast by national
bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 to be positive; and no more than 1/4 (
i.e. 25 %) of the total number of national body votes cast negative. Neither
of these criteria were achieved, with 53 % of votes cast by national bodies
participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 being positive and 26 % of national votes
cast being negative.

Comments that accompanied the votes will be discussed at a ballot resolution
meeting (BRM) to be organized by the relevant subcommittee of ISO/IEC JTC 1
(SC 34, *Document description and processing languages*) in February 2008 in
Geneva, Switzerland.

The objective of the meeting will be to review and seek consensus on
possible modifications to the document in light of the comments received
along with the votes. If the proposed modifications are such that national
bodies then wish to withdraw their negative votes, and the above acceptance
criteria are then met, the standard may proceed to publication.

Otherwise, the proposal will have failed and this fast-track procedure will
be terminated. This would not preclude subsequent re-submission under the
normal ISO/IEC standards development rules.

ISO/IEC DIS 29500 is a proposed standard for word-processing documents,
presentations and spreadsheets that is intended to be implemented by
multiple applications on multiple platforms. According to the submitters,
one of its objectives is to ensure the long-term preservation of documents
created over the last two decades using programmes that are becoming
incompatible with continuing advances in the IT field.

ISO/IEC DIS 29500 was originally developed as the Office Open XML
Specification by Microsoft Corporation which submitted it to Ecma
International for transposing into an ECMA standard. Following a process in
which other IT industry players participated, Ecma International
subsequently published the document as ECMA standard 376.

Ecma International then submitted the standard in December 2006 to ISO/IEC
JTC 1, with whom it has category A liaison status, for adoption as an
International Standard under the JTC 1 "fast track" procedure. This allows a
standard developed within the IT industry to be presented to JTC 1 as a
Draft International Standard (DIS) that can be adopted after a process
consisting of a one-month review by the national bodies of JTC 1 and then a
five-month ballot open to all voting national bodies of ISO and IEC.
