A first draft of the Board cover letter is at <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/LIDAR_Format_Letter_Board_Cover" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/LIDAR_Format_Letter_Board_Cover</a> It would be good for all Board members to take a look and edit that page if need be.<br>

Dear All,<br>
With 6 votes +1 and 3 votes +0 I declare the motion to support the<br>
letter on LiDAR open standard passed.<br>
<br>
The board will draft a support letter.<br>

With comment: -1 for the tone, +1 for the "idea" of the letter<br>
<br>
Requesting and pointing at "one evil" does not bring solutions, only<br>
builds walls. Therefore also not signing the letter as private<br>
person. If someone else takes the power, I can only say: that this<br>
is not my way.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the delay<br>

I think all board members have now voted? Thankyou for your<br>
support.<br>
Massimo, as you raised this motion, do you wish to declare<br>
its result?<br>
<br>
Next actions:<br>
* Declare result of motion (Massimo)<br>
* Update the Open Letter wiki with cover letter. There is<br>
proposed text<br>
below. I'm happy to do this, unless someone else does it first.<br>
* Send the Open Letter to key stakeholders (emails below).<br>
Jeff, do you<br>
wish to do that? Would you like any help?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Cameron<br>
