Jody, We are in the process of voting on our new Policies and Procedures for development of Standards - the vote ends in about a month and then we will see if we offer the Community Standards option.
A quick summary: a Community Standard will allow an externally-developed “standard” (e.g., a data encoding developed by a commercial entity, a de facto standard, or a legacy encoding that is not managed by any particular organization) to enter the OGC process in an expedited fashion for endorsement as an OGC Standard. Such a standard may share Intellectual Property rights between the OGC and originating party. The most important criterion is that the proposed standard be broadly implemented: either many different software implementations or a few implementations with many users.
