September, 3th. ISO JTC-1 Korea Committee voted "No with comments" to Office Open XML as P member body. Mr. Youngsik Kang, Korea Agency for Technology and Standards, one of ISO/JTC-1 members confimed voting result to ISO on August, 31th after collection the public opinion from various experts, companies and government in Korea.

Korean government concluded that OOXML is incomplete for ISO standards right now and suggested some of complements for that. These comments will be public after ISO voting finally. These conditions must be adopted by ECMA TC45 till Febrary in next year likewise Dannish and Norway's.

Got it from http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/95383
Link to NSAI Publication: http://www.nsai.ie/index.cfm/area/news/action/article/information/xml

Another article i stumbeled upon: http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/95214
Last Paragraph translated (emphasis mine):
"Standardisation competition? The request of the Federal Government (pdf) speaks of the competition between products on basis of open standards, not of competition between standards. Competitive standards, it spontaneously reminds me of the current Hickhack between Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD, which is not favorable to the establishment of a DVD successor. But probably two standards are still better than none…"
