The

It looks like that Hungary will do a re-vote today according to hup.hu:

As known, the meeting was organized breaking the internal rules of HSI on decisive meetings. The invitations for the meeting were not sent to the parties in time, then the voting rules were changed by the secretary of the Committee so that only the 50% of the votes is enough for a decision instead of the 2/3 lied down in the original rules. Because of these circumstances, the counterinterested parties were not able to vote on the meeting, therefore the official Hungarian opinion on the issue is “yes” for OOXML as ISO standard. However because of these anomalies, the minister has ordered HSI to restore the juridical situation, and repeat the vote on 31th August 2007.

It looks like that the Danish government has made a demand to investigate the Danish voting process as well after the media attention on how Microsoft has tried to railroad the ISO vote in Sweden to their own favour. According to Comon.dk several Microsoft partners in Denmark has admitted that they felt compelled to follow Microsoft request on voting and how to vote.

Question if this by the end of the day would change the Danish vote as well?
