Did Not Support OOXML Proposal: CSI
,----[ Quote ]
| CSI wishes to clarify that at no point has CSI supported the proposed
| standard in its present form. In a communication to the BIS to clarify the
| issue, Dr. J.R. Arora, CSI's representative in BIS, states that: "I also wish
| to draw your attention to a news item published in the Economics Times as has
| been brought to my notice by the Hon. Secretary, CSI. Quoting you, it is
| mentioned in this news item that 'There was no need for voting as only
| Infosys Technologies and CSI supported Microsoft'. This statement is not
| correct, as CSI, in its written comments sent to BIS with a copy marked to
| you, has very categorically stated that it does not support the OOXML
| standard in its present form. In fact these remarks were read by the BIS
| official, Ms. Reena Garg, in the third meeting held at BIS. We are therefore
| shocked to read about the news stating that the CSI has supported the
| standard.”

2-3 weeks, I caught Microsoft lying (deliberately) in India. Wow! Corruption
knows no bounds. ODF is truly disruptive an unethical cash cow.
Poland says "Yes, with comments" to OOXML

However, that's not the full story. The word from Poland tells a different
story:

"There was no practical reason to do that and as you remember first [Polish]
comitee rejected MSOOXML with 82% votes against it, but now second comittee
approved MSOOXML without single vote against it!"
