“SIS CEO Lars Flink explains that in August 2007, SIS decided to
abstain from voting on OOXML at ISO, after finding out some of the
members in its OOXML committee had voted more than once. “Also, at
the day of the vote, the SIS committee had also gotten between 25
and 27 new members, most of which were in favour of OOXML. At the
time, our rules allowed such late-comers at the time. We have
changed those rules.””
