How NBs can register a changed vote on OOXML - and a Chart of Directives Changes

By Pamela Jones et al.

Alex Brown has now posted instructions for national bodies, or NBs, who want to change their September votes, in a comment answering a question from Bob Sutor:

Alex,
Could you please list the explicit instructions that a national body should follow in order to let JTC1/ISO/IEC know that the country has changed its vote on OOXML/DIS 29500? Is it an online action or are they supposed to send email to someone? Thanks.

@Bob, I believe FAQ item 6.3 answers your question. There is more detail on the SC 34 Home Page. Note the deadline is midnight CET on 29 March 2008.
Alex

Sutor has posted the information also, and he adds this detail:

Keith Brannon mentioned to me in an email that it is essential that the person letting him know of a change in vote be an official designated national body representative and not someone else.

Yes, they can change their vote to No from Yes or Abstain.
