We have created an Open Letter to the OGC and OGC voting members.<br>
I'm hoping you will include your name to the list of signatures.
You might also want to add content to the list of Concerns:<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I've made a brief summary of this thread and sent it to the Spanish
Local Chapter mailing list linking specially the mail from Cameron[1]
that started the conversation.
I've tried to encourage them to participate in the debate, right now
we are receiving some responses, in spanish in the spanish list, I'm
going to wait a couple of days and translate them to english and copy
them in Discuss.
I think that all the Liaison Officers from the Chapters should do the
same and try to make their communities aware of this situation.
Bests,

Stephan, Adrian: is there an effective way for OSGeo to address a
statement to OGC, beside the official requests for comments and our
Discuss list?
Thanks for your thoughts,

Any official statement issued by the OSGeo Board or community on this
particular vote should probably be addressed to the
'Voting Members of the OGC Technical Committee'
since they are the ones who are taking a position during this vote and
deciding whether to accept it or not as an official OGC standard.
The statement could be sent via Carl Reed, who is the head of the OGC
Technical Committee. He lurks on this list as part of the collaboration
agreement between the two communities and can be reached directly at:
