CSI wishes to clarify that at no point has CSI supported theproposed standard in its present form. In a communication to the BIS to clarify theissue, Dr. J.R. Arora, CSI's representative in BIS, states that: "I also wish todraw your attention to a news item published in the Economics Times as has beenbrought to my notice by the Hon. Secretary, CSI. Quoting you, it is mentioned inthis news item that 'There was no need for voting as only Infosys Technologies andCSI supported Microsoft'. This statement is not correct, as CSI, in its writtencomments sent to BIS with a copy marked to you, has very categorically stated thatit does not support the OOXML standard in its present form. In fact these remarkswere read by the BIS official, Ms. Reena Garg, in the third meeting held at BIS. Weare therefore shocked to read about the news stating that the CSI has supported thestandard.
