I think there's some confusion on organizations here:
OGC: http://www.opengeospatial.org/
OSGeo: http://www.osgeo.org/
I'm guessing it's probably OSGeo that you're talking about in
relation to OpenStreetMap.

Blaming the OGC for that is ridiculous.
The so-called Open Geospatial Consortium is a new player, as is
OpenStreetMap.org. The general public doesn't know who these
bodies are or what they stand for. Perhaps this includes some
members of this list. At one point, if I remember correctly, the
OGC offered to house OpenStreetMap under its umbrella, since
apparently the two were working for similar goals. The names are
similar enough to cause confusion.
