[Local-chapters] [OSGeo-Discuss] Would you be concerned if the "GeoServices REST API" became an OGC standard?

[Cameron Shorter]

Pedro and others,

We have created an Open Letter to the OGC and OGC voting members.
I'm hoping you will include your name to the list of signatures. You 
might also want to add content to the list of Concerns:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API#Open_Letter_to_OGC_and_voting_members

/May 2013 /

/We, the undersigned, have concerns that approving the "Geoservices REST 
API" as an OGC standard, would have detrimental impacts on 
interoperability within the spatial industry. /

/We strongly urge that the proposed "Geoservices REST API", as it stands 
in May 2013, be rejected as an OGC standard. /

/People have listed different reasons for concern. They are described below.
.../
