Story: ISO calls for end to OOXML 'personal attacks'
ISO lost all credibility
ISO allowed the working group to be stacked, just one week before the first vote in September 2007.
Countries with no capacity to make any contribution, simply voted Yes.
Here are some countries from the list of shame (Participating members with full voting rights):
# Azerbaijan
# Cote-d'Ivore
# Jamaica
# Kazakhstan
# Lebanon
# Malta
# Trinidad and Tobago
Even more countries from the Observer members joined at the last moment.
