WCS change request process guidance

Hi,

There have been many WCS change requests (submitted mainly by Peter Baumann) as a result of GALEON Phase 1 efforts. But I have submitted an additional change request which is available as a "pending document" on the OGC portal. A copy is available at:

<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/GALEON/Reports/WCS-netCDFformat-1.0.doc>

As you will note, it is a simple interim measure to get the netCDF listed as a sixth encoding format for WCS. (This was submitted with the realization that netCDF without conventions falls into the "overly abstract" category along with HDF-EOS and that shortcoming will be addressed in GALEON Phase 2).

I would appreciate some guidance as to how to proceed from here. Does this require a formal motion at the TC meeting? Is the Coverages WG session at the Huntsville TC meeting the appropriate place to deal with this? Or is it the WCS revision working group? As you may have guessed, I'm not an expert on Robert's Rules, so I'd appreciate your suggestions on how to proceed with this - whichever session it falls into.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

-- Ben
