[OSGeo-Standards] sponsoring / relevance / standard

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Henrique,
I suspect that you would be better served to develop a standard under 
the umbrella of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
The OGC is specifically set up to develop spatial standards, where as 
OSGeo has a focus on Open Source geospatial software (which typically 
makes use of OGC standards).

Have you reached out to the OGC community yet? If not, I suggest getting 
in touch with them. I've CCed Scott Simmons from the OGC, who is also on 
this list.

Warm regards,
Cameron
