[OSGeo-Standards] glossary discussion on osgeo-standards ....

[Cameron Shorter]

Reese, these are questions we can flesh out of the coming weeks. I 
propose upcoming steps:

* Receive endorsement from OSGeo Board at the next meeting in a week or 
so to be officially recognised as an OSGeo committee.

* Set up an OSGeo Lexicon email list (action on me to coordinate)

* Continue fleshing out our draft OSGeo Lexicon process as per here: 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Lexicon_Committee

* In a few weeks, reach out to OSGeo projects again and invite them to 
join our email list and committee. Hopefully pick up a few people. 
(action on me)

* Bootstrap our OSGeo Lexicon committee. (Action on me to coordinate, 
I'll be leaning on others to step up to chair).

* Refine and agree on our priorities and processes
** Yes, language used will be English, and likely will lead to 
translating to other languages in future stages.
