<p>Astroidex, Kalxas, Delawen, Helena, OSGeo Board,</p>
<p>Do my answers below address your questions re setting up an OSGeo
Lexicon committee?</p>
<p>Within the next few weeks I'm hoping to reach out to those from
the OSGeo community who have provided glossaries and are likely to
be interested in joining a Lexicon committee. From that committee
we can elect a chair.</p>
<p>I'm prefer to have the OSGeo Board's blessing before progressing
further. Is that something you'd be prepared to provide?<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>
</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Angelos, board,<br>
<div>That is a good question. Working the lexicon community
within the standards committee is something we
should consider. While I wouldn't want to rule it out as an
option, I'd vote -0 for it.</div>
<div>My reasoning:</div>
<div>* The lexicon committee is only focusing on one very narrow
use case within the greater OSGeo/Standards space.</div>
<div>* The standards committee has a very board focus across all
standards related use cases. In particular, it has focused on
managing the relationship between OSGeo and OGC.</div>
<div>* The lexicon committee will be very noisy within this very
specific lexicon use case. People interested in general
standards will be swapped with emails and I predict we will
very quickly kill off any other standards related
conversations due to the noise.</div>
<div>* The standards committee is relatively quiet, and it could
be argued that we could consider retiring the standards
committee and restart it as a lexicon committee. I don't think
this is the case. I think the standards committee still has
meaning and purpose.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For these reasons, I believe the Lexicon and Standards
committees should be kept separate. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For my next steps, I'm hoping to follow this process:</div>
<div>1. Get endorsement from the board.</div>
<div>2. Create a new <a href="mailto:lexicon@lists.osgeo.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">lexicon@lists.osgeo.org</a> email
list</div>
<div>3. Reach out to OSGeo projects and invite them to join the
list and participate in a committee</div>
<div>4. Boostrap a lexicon committee</div>
<div>5. Committee members to vote for a committee chair</div>
<div>6. Start getting serious about the work we are doing.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm hoping that the board can discuss via email, ask
questions which I'll answer, then we can set up a motion and
help us move through the steps above.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Warm regards, Cameron</div>
