Volker -
Just following onto Pedro's email, we (OGC and OSGeo) need to work closely
on moving OpenSearch Geo through the OGC standards process so that conflicts
or differences can be avoided. Please let me know if there are any questions
or concerns. This is a great opportunity for OSGeo and the OGC to
collaborate!
FYI, we will be using the OGC Fast Track process to move the candidate
standard through the OGC process. This is a much shorter and more
transparent process than the traditional OGC standards working group
process.
Regards
Carl Reed
CTO
OGC
