O ISO publicou o resultado da votacao desta semana: <br>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.
<br><br>Eu so' gostaria de confirmar o seguinte. De acordo com <br><br><a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/about/iso_members/iso_member_participation_tc.htm?member_id=1579">http://www.iso.org/iso/about/iso_members/iso_member_participation_tc.htm?member_id=1579
</a><br>Brazil (ABNT):<br>. JTC 1 - Information technology ( <em>O-member</em> )<br>. JTC 1/SC 34 - Document description and processing languages ( <em>P-member</em> )<br><br>o Brasil e' membro observador no JTC-1 e participante no sub-comite JCT-1/SC-34.
<br><br>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.<br><br>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.

Vote closes on draft ISO/IEC DIS 29500 standard<br><a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1070">http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1070</a><br><br>A ballot on whether to publish the draft standard ISO/IEC DIS 29500,
<i>Information technology – Office Open XML file formats</i>,
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.<br><p>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,<i> Information technology. </i></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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, <i>Document description and processing languages</i>) in February 2008 in Geneva, Switzerland. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p><p> <br></p>
