Hi OSGeo Board,<br>
<br>
I request the board support an OSGeo Community developed Open
Letter aimed at protecting open LiDAR standards.<br>
<a class="" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/LIDAR_Format_Letter">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/LIDAR_Format_Letter</a><br>
<br>
Proposal 1: The OSGeo Board agree to include the following
statement (or similar wording) into the letter:<br>
<br>
= Cover Letter from the OSGeo Board =<br>
<br>
The board of the [<a class="" href="http://osgeo.org">http://osgeo.org</a>
Open Source Geospatial Foundation] (OSGeo) is presenting this
letter to the OGC, ESRI and ASPRS. The letter highlights concerns
about fragmentation in LiDAR standards from many people within the
OSGeo community. As always, if there is anything the OSGeo board
can do to help, then please let us know.<br>
<br>
Signed: <OSGeo Board Members><br>
<br>
Proposal 2:<br>
Once the letter has completed the signature phase, the letter be
emailed from the OSGeo President to key people within these
organisations:<br>
<br>

President<br>
