"The influx of P members whose only interest is the fast-tracking of ECMA 376 as ISO 29500 has led to the failure of a number of key ballots." "The days of open standards development are fast disappearing. Instead we are getting 'standardization by corporation'. "The second half of 2007 has been an extremely trying time for WG1. I am more than a little glad my 3 year term is up, and must commiserate with my successor on taking over an almost impossible task." "I am glad to be retiring before the situation becomes impossible." [1] ---------- Very sad ...
