Hi,
the paper has been recommended to the TC as a discussion paper. If TC
approves (it usually does, that is more of a rubber stamping process) it
will be published publicly after it has been legally double checked by OGC
staff. This might take awhile depending on workload, I requested be
notified personally and will let this group know.

In the past people have not cared to discuss any public OGC discussion
papers a lot. Therefore the process is not clearly defined by OGC - there
simply was no need to do so.

This might be due to nobody knowing (outside), nobody caring (inside) or
everybody ("we") being wrong about what everybody ("we") want. But it is
water under the bridge trying to find out who was more wrong, lazy,
protective or whatective. Once this paper is out officially we can
actually try to change this and get a process going.

Best regards,
