[Board] Please review: Open Letter asking to avoid format fragmentation in LiDAR standards

[Cameron Shorter]

Hello Jeff and the OSGeo Board,

Our next step is to deliver the Open Letter, as suggested earlier in this
thread. (see below)

We are waiting on an answer from the earlier proposal for the OSGeo Board
to present this Open Letter. Is another 48 hours enough time to respond?

The alternative is that some one else from the OSGeo community delivers
this letter.

Hi OSGeo Board,

I request the board support an OSGeo Community developed Open Letter aimed
at protecting open LiDAR standards.

Proposal 1: The OSGeo Board agree to include the following statement (or
similar wording) into the letter:

= Cover Letter from the OSGeo Board =

The board of the [http://osgeo.org Open Source Geospatial Foundation]
(OSGeo) is presenting this letter to the OGC, ESRI and ASPRS. The letter
highlights concerns about fragmentation in LiDAR standards from many people
within the OSGeo community. As always, if there is anything the OSGeo board
can do to help, then please let us know.

Signed: <OSGeo Board Members>

Proposal 2:
Once the letter has completed the signature phase, the letter be emailed
from the OSGeo President to key people within these organisations:

Mark Reichardt <mreichardt AT opengeospatial.org>, OSGeo President
David Danko <DDanko AT esri.com>, ESRI's Senior Consultant for GIS Standards
Stephen D. DeGloria < sdd4 AT cornell.edu>, President of the ASPRS
