Quitting and complaining

The ukuug quit the standaardization proces.
They could have had a vote in the official recommendation on Office Open XML to BSI but choose to leave.

It would have have made certain they knew what the recommendation of the committee exactly was. As this is not public information the ukuug placing themselves outisde the proces has no more acces to the committee information.

If BSI has claimed to follow the recommendation in their official communications I would have little doubt on that.
If the ukuug would like to have a case they woyuld need to come up with the official recommendation of the committee and prove that BSI has not followed it.

If that were the case it would be likely they had already done that to support the claims Williams made earlier which have not been supported by the tinyest bit of proof or even supportive 1st party claims from committee members.
