On 2 September 2007, ISO national bodies voted on Ecma 376, "OOXML". The ISO secretariat has decided to move forward with a Ballot Resolution Meeting in February 2008 to make the final decision. Microsoft got to pass with 19 "difficulties" round one (fasttrack OOXML) and lost round two (vote on OOXML), and now the fight moves to round three, the definitive one.
From February 25 to 29, 2008, national boards will meet in Geneva to discuss and vote finally on OOXML. If your country is not present, it won't have a say in the final result.

This website explains how to help your national ISO board do its job and reject OOXML.
