Hi Carl, Thank you for your guidance on consensus building and i have taken inspiration from your words. As i told in my email dated 10th May 2015 [1] " I now leave this in the safe hands of our OGC colleagues to guide the process forward and i request everyone to work together step by step for this. It is important to be patient , listen to all viewpoints and slowly build consensus. I hope all stakeholders will work together in the common objective of Open Standards in LiDAR for the benefit of the wider geo community."
So i am hopeful that OGC will do the needful. In fact, i think it is OGC (not OSGeo) who should be working on this. Happy holidays and New Year wishes, Suchith [1] http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2015-May/014211.html ________________________________ From: Carl Reed [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2015 7:27 PM To: Suchith Anand Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Ica-osgeo-labs] Do you remember this? All - The OGC has a formal Principals of Conduct Policy. I wrote and maintained the policy with the agreement and approval of the OGC membership. http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/policies/conduct This policy was initially based on the IETF conduct policy. Please read sections 3.a and 3.b as they have to do with how OGC members interact with one another as well as with the broader community. So before "stirring the pot" on the LiDAR topic again, consider the Conduct policy as guidance on consensus building.

The OSGeo Foundation will respond formally to this in due course as we had initiated this open letter for the need for standards in LiDAR data formats [1], [2]. I request OSGeo Board to add this in the agenda of the next Board meeting and also for the F2F meeting, so we can discuss and plan next steps. But first we will wait for response from the Open Geospatial Consortium - who as per their website is committed to making quality open standards for the global geospatial community and have been working on this by setting up a Point Cloud DWG. We have put our trust in OGC in this process , so let us first get the response from OGC. I am ccing Scott Simmons of OGC to get their response.
