ISO's SC34: the Large Standard Collider

ISO never learns, IBM does
Blog OSI diehards couldn't accept other people's standards and tried bizarre rearguard actions against TCP/IP, but OSI was doomed. It went ahead and wrote a set of "OSI standards" for communication protocols, which wasn't such a good idea.

OSI version?
Talkback "In future, Brown hopes to repeat the test to see if the open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, conforms with the Open Source Initiative (OSI) version of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) document standard — ISO/IEC 26300.
