Technical discussions will continue to happen on the GeoAPI mailing list. This
particular topic (splitting in two modules) has been first posted in this list
in December, posted again last week and again today.
The way OGC works is not to create design in face-to-face meetings. The way OGC
works is that we make proposal on our side (on the GeoAPI mailing list),
present
those proposal to some OGC meeting and they vote in favor or against it. If
they
vote against, they usually propose amendment, which bring us back to the GeoAPI
mailing list for discussing the amendments.
Submitting for approval the whole GeoAPI project in its current form is
unlikely
to succeed. A step-by-step approach is more likely to succeed, which is why I
suggest to begin with the most stable part only.
