I am wondering if anyone on this list is aware of their organization
being a member of the Singapore IT Federation (www.sitf.org.sg)?

I am told that MS is trying to armtwist the SITF to endorse the ooxml
as an ISO standard and thereby force the hand of the ITSC (www.itsc.org.sg)
to vote in favour of it.  We need to rally the membership of SITF to thwart
this effort of MS.

So, if you know of companies that are members of SITF, please get
them to raise this to the SITF council.

Separately, MS is astroturfing the standards council with form letters[1]
from local companies singing praises of ooxml.

The voting by the ITSC to the ISO for this proposed standard closes
September 2nd 2007.

Thanks.
