[ZOO-Discuss] OGC Web Services, Phase 7 (OWS-7) Request For Quotation and Call For Participation

[Raj Singh]

The December 2 deadline was only for submissions requesting funding.  
Observers don't need to declare until mid-January. Observers do need  
to be OGC members however. If no appropriate ZOO-ers are members, then  
someone should take advantage of the free yearly memberships available  
through OSGeo.
