But the information from PKN is kind of blurry. They claimed that KT 182 is "better prepared" for this issue. But it seems strange since KT 171 was good enough to take a decision concerning ODF last year. Anyway, in KT 182 there are a lot of people (currenty 38, including a representative from Foundation for Free and Open-Source Software) and it's not possible to guess how many of them are representatives of their own companies/organizations and how many are IBM/Microsoft lobbysts. We'll have to see when the voting takes place (which is on August 30th). Of course we're going to inform you about the decision as soon as we get it. I don’t think the decision was political.

It sounds suspiciously like that M$ could see ahead of time that KT 171 would not be a push over so plans were made instead to push KT 171 out of the way and hand-pick members for KT 182.
