Subject: Which ODF are we talking about?
Dear friends, Perhaps late in the discussion: There is a current ODF. A standard greatly dominated by Sun to bash Microsoft. The TC is about adoption of the idea of a open document format. In my mind this forces us to start working with big industry players (including other OASIS members) to achieve a truly open document format. To be exact: in my mind any format not supported by the big players does not need an adoption TC because it will never be widely adopted. My personal support on behalf of a couple of big tax administrations (not only the Netherlands) is in that context only. My government or my tax administration is currently not supporting or using the present ODF nor does it have the intention to do so in the near future. Kind regards, Harm Jan van Burg Ministry of Finance Directorate-General of the Tax and Customs Administration And chair OASIS tax-xml TC office + 31 70 342 8522 mobile +31 6 23943759 Ps if this TC feels that ODF adoption has to mean: only promoting this ODF than -of course- I will not hinder the process of this TC and leave.
