[edit] OOXML controversy

In October, 2008, the majority of Standards Norway's technical committee resigned in protest over Standards Norway's controversial decision to approve Microsoft's OOXML document format as an ISO standard. Despite the overwhelming majority of the technical committee rejecting OOXML, Standards Norway approved it anyway. A letter from the resigning members claimed that Standard Norway is "not fit to represent Norway at the ISO."^[1]
