[Board] Upcoming Open Letter to the OGC

[Cameron Shorter]

Carl,

As per schedule below, the Open Letter from the OSGeo community is now 
draft complete.
The OGC is welcome to review and provide feedback.
My preference would be by email for a small tweak or two, or by copying 
into MS word or Open Office, and providing suggestions using "track 
changes".
