Coordinate with OASIS
Coordinate with the GeoSciML community
Coordinate with INSPIRE
Inform all technology developers that they need to check their offerings
and determine what (if any) changes they need to make. Not just OGC
Members but the whole community!
Coordinate with the Open Source community also
... I cannot but ask myself: WTF?? First OGC takes a disruptive
decision, IIUC this is changing the existing standards without issuing a
new version of them (or, if this is not the case, Mr. Reed needs to
rephrase heavily its writing), and then they realise OUTREACH, OUTREACH,
OUTREACH is needed? Why the need to hurry everyone?
Is this even how a serious standards organisation works?
