I'm moving this email thread from discuss@lists.osgeo.org to standa...@lists.osgeo.org. Adrian, It is a good idea for OSGeo members have the opportunity to participate in OGC activities, and have a voice to air OSGeo opinions and concerns. I think that we are already reasonably close to havin

Hey all, On the front of becoming one of the liaison members, I would appreciate guidance on procedure. Do we generate a formal letter to me and the OGC or do we not yet have any procedure for this? I have just now asked Barbara Sherman of the OGC if she is aware of any procedure on her end.

OGC voting organisations typically have 1 vote, (2 people who have permissions to caste that vote), and each organisation has their own process for determining that vote. I'd suggest that OSGeo should have a committee and set of processes for determining the vote. One issue we are going to fac

Hi Cameron, I've been also thinking of OGC voting rights for the OSGeo Foundation. I wonder if we should discuss this together during the next Board meeting. (how OSGeo can become a voting member) -jeff On 2013-05-30 5:31 PM, Cameron Shorter wrote: > +1 from me too. > > Based on the depth of

[OSGeo-Discuss] OGC liaison memberships

2013-05-30 Thread Adrian Custer
Hey all, As I remember it, OSGeo has been granted a number of liaison memberships (six?) from the OGC. Are they all being used? If not, what would be the process to obtain one? In past years, I have been reluctant to officially represent OSGeo and so have paid for a membership on my own. No
