The whole point of this, was so that Microsoft could claim "ISO

Oh I get it. ISO.... Ignorant Slob Orchestrated???
Actually, it's "I sold out".
Pretty close, I think.
I hate to be the voice of reason (I don't think i'm particularly good
at it ;) but the countries that do the voting each have their own
processes to follow. The level of corruption in each countries system is
what has been exploited here. The ISO system itself has IIUC only been
exploited insofar as a Fast Track Process was totally inapropriate for
this DIS.
There were also some problems with the chairman of the BRM ignoring the
rules and making up his own. Also, ISO should be blocking any vote,
where there's influence of corruption. Look at how MS stacked so many
committees. How can ISO accept that as valid?
