Thanks to a blogger who managed to shed some light on what was going on inside SC34, we hear now that Microsoft Korea was paying for dinner. I hope the meal was good.

Continuing the reading of the document, I found at the “Acclamations Section” a particular item, that would transcribe here:

Acclamation C:

SC 34 expresses its appreciation to Microsoft Korea for sponsoring the dinner of Sept 29th.

I’d rather not write here any comment or conclusion about it, but I really would like to read the your comments.

Things like these which cause reactions such as the members of the Norway’s NB, that simply abandoned ISO (cheers to them).

I am also pretty sure that other participants to this meeting had their flight ticket paid by Redmond. I personally do not have the finances to afford such expensive flight tickets, hotels, and so on.

Physical meeting is the ISO way to exclude participation.
