The Andalusian Government has reported recently the manipulation of Microsoft in the National Technical Committee 71 of AENOR. On July 10th, just the day before the one and only meeting of AENOR to study DIS 29500 and vote on it, Microsoft announced officially (via the secretary of the Committee) that the Andalusians and several other Spanish public entities were asking for the approval of ISO DIS 29500 (what finally resulted all a fake!).
Once Andalusia was aware of "its" fake backing to DIS 29500, the official (reply) letter of the Andalusian Government to the Ministry of Industry, the holder of AENOR national standardization body, is quite strong in terms of diplomacy and asks for notification and an explanation of how is it possible that that situation happens on an "as important and wide standardization process".
Indeed, both, the initial letter and the denounce letter, remark that Andalusia already have decided that their electronic document standard format is already established on ISO 26300.
FFII has been aware that all this has been made public in an anonymous denounce to a lawyers association in Spain that collects the denounces against the abuse of software monopolies in Spanish public administrations. They have certified the originality of all the reported original documents attached to the disclosing report: Denounce in Spanish with the original documents linked
All this happened one and two weeks ago or so respectively, but unfortunately all this information was under confidentiality terms… until now that has been disclosed by Neutralidad.es.
The vote in Spanish AENOR is currently in process via post mail. The deadline is July, 26th.
