If you have time to submit a couple of bullet points and a link to your 
GSIP 61 page on the OGC web form below, you will ensure that the OGC SWG 
are at least aware of your findings as the principal implementer of 
GeoServer WFS 2.0. I suspect that they will find your work most useful.

If you lack the time and are willing to risk my misinterpretation, 
please let me know and I will submit your findings on behalf of the project.

Kind regards,
Ben.
