Lisa Rachjel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lisa Rachjel is the current secretariat of the ISO Joint Technical Committee.

In March of 2007, she gained visibility after deciding to place Microsoft's Open XML standards proposal on a fast track for ISO approval, despite oposition from several key voting countries and comments and criticism from 20 out of the 30 countries sitting on the JTC-1 committee for Ecma International standards. [1]

The countries in the ISO that opposed putting Open XML on the fast track are: New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Finland, and Kenya
