ISO has published a press release which mentions the following:
Comments that accompanied the votes will be discussed at a ballot resolution meeting (BRM) to be organized by the relevant subcommittee of ISO/IEC JTC 1 (SC 34, Document description and processing languages) in February 2008 in Geneva, Switzerland.
And also the objective of the meeting, which will be to try to find solutions to unsolvable problems, called OOXML poison pills, such as the French proposal:
The objective of the meeting will be to review and seek consensus on possible modifications to the document in light of the comments received along with the votes. If the proposed modifications are such that national bodies then wish to withdraw their negative votes, and the above acceptance criteria are then met, the standard may proceed to publication.
The work for us will be to reverse the decision of many Yes countries, and to support OOXML poison pills that Microsoft don't like, which is basically every amendment that create distance between Office 2007 and the proposed ISO29500. But beware, most of the Yes countries are already mostly controlled by the vendor and its business partners.
