You have messaged and framed this as a religious event so I would expect brick bats to be thrown at MS no matter what the messages, especially if they dare to have a different opinion and method of achieving their aims.

Using the core 10 or 20 points raised through the ISO process from the comments around the world will be a good starting point. I will be working really hard to keep the event on track, so wish me luck :) The political rhetoric (some of which is quite important, but not central to the decision making process of ISO) has muddied the waters, so I just want to clarify things a bit :) OOXML ultimately should be beaten on legal and technical grounds, not political grounds, so let's see if it stands up on these grounds. I think anyone who really believes that OOXML is not good enough for a yes vote should also feel confident enough to have MS participate in an event discussing this. Having several companies and also non-political technical experts such as Matthew Cruickshank participate, should help show exactly where OOXML is at. Stay posted :) Hi Ric,

As Jeff knows, there is no easy road through this conversation, and I fear this may be perceived as assisting MS in their quest for ISO certification. I've been following the discussions on the ODF list and on the Web, so please don't feel like you have to defend yourself to me - I see both sides (yes it CAN be painful on the fence!) and am happy to see some constructive dialogue ... I'm just concerned you may not get it. “It will not be a political event” - that may be a bit difficult to avoid - good luck!
