Hi Scott,

Thank you for these updates. It is important that the wider geo community is 
kept fully updated on the developments in OGC's Point Cloud DWG (esp. all those 
who supported the Open Letter need to be kept updated) . So i request you to 
kindly keep sending any updates on Point Cloud DWG activities to the OSGeo 
Discuss list .  I  have put my complete trust and faith in the OGC's process 
and i am hopeful there will be consensus build. I am requesting everyone to be 
please patient and support fully this DWG activities.

Also i humbly request everyone to please follow the OSGeo and OGC code of 
conduct . Even personal blogposts (including your personal opinions) should 
respect the OSGeo code of conduct. Please only write facts and that too in 
simple English that everyone can understand correctly (many are non-native 
English speakers including myself). Thank you for your cooperation.

Wishing everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year wishes.

Best wishes,

Suchith

All,

The OGC is moving forward in our efforts for Point Cloud standardization. As 
presented at our most recent meeting in Sydney, Australia, the Point Cloud DWG 
will be releasing a survey to the interested community as a whole (not just OGC 
membership) to identify the most pressing requirements for standardization in 
the Point Cloud domain and also to seek interest from parties to participate in 
such standardization activities. Please stay tuned for the survey - we will be 
sure to copy these OSGeo lists once the survey is available.

Of course, all discussion and all work will be performed on a consensus basis 
in accordance to our Principles of Conduct. We will judge our work on its merit 
and not denigrate any pre-existing or submitted efforts.

Thanks and Regards,
Scott

Hi Suchith, Sergio, Micha,

Thanks Carl for highlighting the importance of mutual respect. OSGeo also has a 
Code-Of-Conduct [1] with similar sentiment to OGC:

We strive to ...
Be careful in the words that we choose.
Whether we are participating as professionals or volunteers, we value 
professionalism in all interactions, and take responsibility for our own 
speech. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants.

The content of the text being referenced is pushing the boundaries of our Code 
of Conduct [1] by making fun of another organisation.

I suggest that we wish to raise this point with the OGC, then reword, focusing 
just on the facts, and ideally be respectful in the way the facts are presented.

Hi Suchith,
I suggest being careful to not over-promise what OSGeo will do (in this case 
responding to a letter), unless you are volunteering to do it yourself on 
behalf of OSGeo. The OSGeo Board is only a few volunteers, representing a large 
body of volunteers. We can do much, but we do it as volunteers.

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,
