[Spanish] Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Standards] Fw: [TC-Announce] GeoServices REST API adoption vote - update and motion to withdraw

Thu May 30 00:41:09 PDT 2013

Hola Gente,

un update importante en el caso del GeoServices REST API.

La OGC ha retirado la proposición para convertir el esquema de ESRI en
estandar, para que pueda ser más ampliamente debatida por la comunidad
antes de aceptarla como estandar OGC.

Muchas gracias a todos los que os implicasteis en la difusión y los
que firmasteis la carta.

Un saludo,

osgeo-discuss, osgeo-standards,

As below, the GeoServices REST API has been withdrawn as a proposed
OGC standard, and OGC are looking at ways to improve based upon our
collective feedback from OSGeo and OGC members.

Thank you to all the people who have voiced their concerns, thank you
to those who provided detailed reasoning and analysis, and thank you
to the OGC and OGC members who have acknowledged and have started
actioning this reasoning. You are contributing toward a better OGC for
us all.

Dear OSGeo Community -

Today I sent out an email to the OGC membership regarding the current
status of the GeoServices adoption vote. Please see the email below.

We appreciate the input provided by the OSGeo community during the
voting process. Based on the discussion and comments that occurred
during this vote, we will be engaging Members as well as the
implementation community in discussions regarding how to evolve and
improve the OGC standards setting process.

Thanks and regards

Subject: [TC-Announce] GeoServices REST API adoption vote - update
andmotion to withdraw

Dear TC -

On Tuesday of this week, the GeoServices REST API Standards Working
Group (SWG) voted to approve the following recommendation to the TC
Voting Members:

The GeoServices REST SWG recommends the TC approve withdrawal of the
motion to approve the OGC GeoServices REST API documents as an
official OGC standard. Moved: Keith Ryden. Second: Clemens Portele.
There was no objection to unanimous consent.

The following is the reason for requesting the motion to approve the
candidate standard be withdrawn:

“Considering the breath of discussion both internal and external to
the OGC process since the vote announcement, the SWG members feel that
the vote cannot continue until the many questions raised have been
addressed. Issues regarding OGC process, vendor advantage, duplication
of capabilities, etc. have now overshadowed technical discussions of
the merits of the specification. By withdrawing the OGC GeoServices
REST API candidate standard, the necessary discussions regarding OGC
process, policy, and position can continue separately.”

The SWG further discussed the need for OGC Members and staff to
debate, clarify and potentially amend a number of policy and
procedural issues before the SWG can decide to either disband or to
resume technical work on the candidate standard

Today or tomorrow the TC Chair (me) will be asking the TC Voting
Members to consider the GeoServices REST API SWG recommendation. The
motion is:

“The GeoServices REST API SWG recommends that the GeoServices adoption
vote be withdrawn.  If there is no objection to unanimous consent in
the next 10 calendar days, then the motion is approved. If there are
objections, than a two week e-vote will be initiated.”

Over the coming months there will be opportunities for OGC staff,
members and the general public to engage in discussions related to
policy and procedures, such as clear statements on openness and
interoperability, overlapping standards, backwards compatibility and
so forth. The idea is to begin a dialogue as part of the virtual
meetings this and next month with a goal to address the issues raised
and recommend changes at the upcoming September Frascati meetings.

I would like to thank the SWG for all of their hard work on the
candidate standard. I would also like to thank everyone who
contributed to the conversation.

Any questions, please let me know.
