ISO Rejects OOXML Protest Appeals

snydeq writes "ISO and IEC gave OOXML the greenlight after organization leaders rejected appeals from four countries to protest the vote that approved OOXML as a standard. According to an ISO press statement, appeals by the national bodies of Brazil, India, South Africa and Venezuela did not garner support from two-thirds of the members of the ISO Technical Management Board and IEC Standardization Management Board, which is required by ISO/IEC rules to keep the appeals process alive."

The standard drink for the new standards organization will be Grog. The standardized procedure for making Grog will be as follows.

1. Make a rum and water (like Word 95 did it)
2. Hold the water.
3. Add more rum.
4. Repeat if necessary.
5. Party with Ted Kennedy.
6. Dump the dead hooker in the lake.
