[OSGeo-Standards] Spare OGC membership slot

I'm looping Scott's comments (from the OGC) into the general OGC 
discussion forum, as I think there are others who might be interested.

I'll add that you should plan to dedicate a lot of time if you intend to 
partake in OGC initiatives. The OGC tackles hard interoperability 
problems and you will likely need to think and discuss deeply with like 
minded people. It is hard work, but it can be very satisfying and 
rewarding to be working on the bleeding edge of technology (as many open 
source developers are doing already).

Warm regards, Cameron
