Sure the rules were not created with these kinds of manipulations in mind, they were created with ethical committee members. Unfortunately not too much can be done now, unless the committee members prove that Andrukiewicz deliberately manipulated the process. AFAIK they will try to do it. @carlos: The problem is that this rule is part of the PKN regulations.

If this is true, you will do nothing? Please APPEAL, SUE !!! this can't be the base-level of standardization; this has to be fixed !

Are you kidding?

If this is true, you will do nothing? Please APPEAL, SUE !!! this can’t be the base-level of standardization; this has to be fixed !

It means there should be no solid opposition to the decision. Even if you only take the "No" votes, more than 30% of members are opposing. If 30% is not a "solid opposition" then I don't know what is! There's something really wrong about all of this. I can only hope that in the future this parody of standarization (and I don't only mean Poland) will be precisely investigated and proper decisions will be made. This is very sad news indeed :-(

I read M$ had decided to quit buying votes when they realized how bad it was? So is Poland voting this way for some obscure political reason. Or is there really a reason for all those Pollock jokes we used to memorize when we were kids! Do they have any justification for adopting OOXML?

But I sincerely hope that this is not the last of the issue. Maybe this decision can and will be appealed if at all possible, due to the impropoper way at which it was arrived.
