Mehrere Personen haben den folgenden Standardbrief an die ANSI übermittelt:
Dear Lisa Rajchel,
We are writing to voice our strong support for the approval of Ecma’s Office Open XML File Formats as an ISO/IEC International Standard. We strongly urge the American National Standards Institute to communicate its support for the ISO/IEC ratification of this standard to the JTC1 Secretariat. Open XML represents an important advance in document standards that offers benefits to technology users, the technology industry, consumers, businesses and governments worldwide. The standard received a strong endorsement when it was approved by Ecma in December 2006 and submitted to JTC1 for fast-track approval.
Open XML will enable backward compatibility with billions of archived documents, and the extensive standard accommodates a wide range of languages and cultures, as well as assistive technologies that help people with disabilities. Governments and businesses will both benefit from the standard itself, as well as from the range of new products that implement the standard. Furthermore, Open XML in no way contradicts any other international document standard.
Das Schlimme ist, dass der Brief nicht einmal gut ist. Mit Standardbehörden kommuniziert man anders. Man hat es nicht mit Idioten zu tun, denen man das ABC erklären muss.
Regel des Tages: Nur weil wir an eine Standardbehörde schreiben, nehmen wir keinen Standardbrief.
Benjamin hat unseren alten Fasttrackbrief übermittelt, der weitgehend von Alberto geschrieben war, während ich ich in Brüssel versucht habe Ordnung und Struktur in dem Text zu schaffen und sein Spanisch-English zu korrigieren, insbesondere was Wortstellung anging. Gelungene Kooperation angesichts des damaligen Zeitdrucks.
