'Transparent process' used to arrive at RP Open XML vote
,----[ Quote ]
| University of the Philippines Department of Computer Science professor
| Prospero Naval, however, was not satisfied with the way the country changed
| its vote.
|
| "There were a lot of things that were not addressed," said Naval who was a
| member of a technical committee led by CICT. He was among those who voted
| against the Open XML format.
|
| Naval stressed that while he is not against Microsoft, he wants the BPS to
| explain how they changed their vote.
|
| "I will accept a 'yes' vote but they should show me the proof. BPS did not
| explain that," he said.
|
| "If the seven comments were addressed, why don't they publish it? They should
| be open to the public," he said.

Seems just like another BSI, which is under about 3 attacks/investigations at
the moment (EU, British computer professionals, formal complaint from the
OSC).

| The Manila Bulletin Online tells us how the Philippines changed its No vote
| on OOXML to Yes. Once again there is an indication that when no consensus was
| reached, the chairman decided to make it Yes. That blatantly happened in
| Norway, and I can't help but want more details about the Philippines.
