[OSGeo-Standards] [vote] Creation of the OSGeo Standards Committee

[Tom Kralidis]

Hi Bruce: thanks for the feedback.  The voting period has been extended to
one week, with a required 50% quorum.

Given the change to the ToR, we will need to re-vote.

I will start with my +1 given the updated ToR.

Thanks

..Tom
