[OSGeo-Standards] OGC Personal Memberships

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Bruce,

I'm glad you asked about the process, because I was wondering if I could 
join the selection committee (as I also think the OSGeo-OGC relationship 
is very important).  I could join you and Arnulf, to help manage this, 
and the process.  (to be honest I have no plans for changing anything, 
just throwing my hat in to help).
