<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto"><div>In my opinion we could ask other organizations (like for instance OGC) which policy they have. I see that OGC acts also as partner in some projects ( see for instance here <a href="http://www.thegigasforum.eu/project/partners.html">http://www.thegigasforum.eu/project/partners.html</a> . It means that they have already thought about that topic, considering pros and cons (at least this is my supposition). Probably it is better if these pieces of information are directly requested by a Director instead of me. </div><div>Many thanks.</div><div>Maria</div><div><br><br>----------------------------------------------------<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Prof. Maria Antonia Brovelli<br>Vice Rector for Como Campus <br>Politecnico di Milano</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">NASA World Wind Virtual Globe Technology Webinar<br><a href="https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/604781066" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0">https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/604781066</a><br><br>ISPRS WG IV/5 "<a href="http://www2.isprs.org/commissions/comm4/wgs.html#wg_IV/5">Web and Cloud Based Geospatial Services and Applications</a>" Co-chair<br>OSGeo Charter Member<br>ICA - OSGeo Lab Network Advisory Board Member<br>SIFET Scientific Commitee Member<br><br><a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0/0" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="address" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0/0">Via Natta, 12/14 - 22100 COMO</a> (ITALY)<br>Tel. <a href="tel:+39-031-3327336" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0/1">+39-031-3327336</a><br>Cel. <a href="tel:+39-328-0023867" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0/2">+39-328-0023867</a><br>fax. <a href="tel:+39-031-3327321" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0/3">+39-031-3327321</a><br>e-mail1: <a href="mailto:maria.brovelli@polimi.it" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0/4">maria.brovelli@polimi.it</a><br>e-mail2: <a href="mailto:prorettrice@como.polimi.it" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors-result="1">prorettrice@como.polimi.it</a></span><br><div><br></div></div></div><div><br>Il giorno 13/mar/2014, alle ore 20:44, Cameron Shorter <<a href="mailto:cameron.shorter@gmail.com">cameron.shorter@gmail.com</a>> ha scritto:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>Maria,</span><br><span>Could you please write down a suggestion for what you think these</span><br><span>guidelines should be.
