[OSGeo-Standards] OSGeo access to OWS Context specs

[Carl Reed OGC Account]

I will be out of the office for two weeks. However, as the proposal is a 
good one, I would suggest working with Raj, Greg, and Mark Reichardt to make 
this happen.

Also, FYI, as soon as we get out from under all the changes to documents and 
the web site for the new OGC IPR policy, we will be standing up a public OGC 
Change Request Proposal system whereby anyone can submit change requests and 
track their progress.

Regards

Carl
