summary:
Apparently unrelated to OOXML, Microsoft, a Business Parter (both on the portuguese TC) and an Institute who has a prominent member participating in the portuguese TC allegedly as an individual, are opening a Microsoft Innovation Center in Portugal oriented to clients and companies. Probably some CRM with OOXML capabilities?

Players:

  • PT-TC-173, Portuguese Technical Commitee which is evaluating MS-OOXML, which voted APPROVAL WITH COMMENTS
  • Microsoft, President of PT-TC-173
  • JP Sá Couto, Microsoft Business Partner, PT-TC-173 member, voted in favour of APPROVAL WITH COMMENTS
  • Henrique O'Neill, allegedly participates as an individual but is a prominent person on ISCTE, PT-TC-173 member, voted in favour of APPROVAL WITH COMMENTS
  • ISCTE - Institute of Work and Enterprise Sciences

Action:
Microsoft, in partnership with JP Sá Couto and ISCTE, is about to open a Microsoft Innovation Center focused on developing software for companies and clients (probably reads CRM, and probably focused around MS-OOXML)

Hypothesis:

  • Mere coincidence?
  • Proof of conflict of interest?
  • Reward for activity in CT-173?

Conclusion:
YOU decide.
