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.
Warm regards, Cameron

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.
Happy Holidays
Carl

Hi Sergio, Micha,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
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.
Best wishes,
Suchith
