The proposal is too large to review in 5-months. 6,000 pages is not appropriate for a Fast Track proposal
Remove OpenXML from Fast Track process and refer it to an SC34 Working Group for further technical review and consensus building

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment PE-0009 (Modified: 2008-01-04) Fast-Track processing is governed by the ISO/IEC JTC 1 Directives, which states in clause ยง13.3: "The period for combined DIS (or DAM) voting shall be six months. This shall consist of a 30-day JTC 1 National Body review period followed by a five-month ballot." Further, this processing time is consistent with ISO/IEC Fast-Track processing. As such, neither the Project Editor nor the Ballot Resolution Meeting has the ability to extend the ballot period, nor to terminate Fast-Track processing and send the document for “normal processing” in SC34. During the development of ECMA-376, interim versions of the specification were publicly posted on the Ecma web site as early as May 2006, and SC34 (which has liaison status with Ecma) was invited to access and review these drafts. Please note other standards following similar processes, such as the PDF format, a specification of over 1300 pages, that was submitted to ISO in June 2007 and ratified as ISO 32000 in December 2007.
