Hooray! The note below indicates that the netCDF core spec has been sent to the OGC Technical Committee (TC) for an adoption vote (60 days allotted for the electronic vote). A similar note for the binary encoding extension has also been set to the TC. So we have finally gotten to the decisive TC voting stage for the first two CF-netCDF candidate standard specs. As it turns out, we've had a request for another organization to be listed among the sponsors. Also I dropped the ball on one additional step in the process, that is, to request that the related HTTP URIs in the document be registered with the OGC Naming Authority. But we can deal with additions to the sponsors list as document edits that can be done at any time. And I am hopeful that the issue with the registration of the URIs is not as onerous as I had originally thought. So, for the CF-netCDF session at the OGC TC meeting at the end of this month, an update on the status of this vote will be the number one topic on the agenda. Please let me know if you have additional agenda items for discussion. -- Ben ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <gbuehler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 3:01 PM Subject: [OGC TC Voter] OGC E-Vote Notification To: tcvoter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dear TC Voter, As an official Technical representative for the OGC, this notice is being sent directly to you. If you cannot vote and have designated an 'Official' alternate, you may elect to have them vote for you on the below motion. A copy of this notice will also be sent via the committee email reflector. This is a notification of an OGC Electronic Vote within the Technical Committee. ================================================ MOTION: ------- To Approve "OGC Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) Core Encoding Standard version 1.0 " [10-090r2] as a new OGC standard Ballot Type: --------- Standard Adoption MOVED BY: --------- TCC SECONDED BY: ------------ N/A INITIATED IN: ------------ VOTE START DATE: ---------------- 2010-11-05 SCHEDULED CLOSE DATE: --------------------- 2011-01-04 STATUS: ------- OPEN - PENDING DESCRIPTION: ------------ On November 5, 2010, the CF-NetCDF SWG the Members unanimously approved an OGC electronic vote and associated IPR review period to approve adoption of \"OGC Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) Core Encoding Standard version 1.0 \" [10-090r2] as an adopted OGC standard. This document is an abstract specification defining the netCDF data model that defines the core set of requirements to which every netCDF encoding must adhere. NetCDF extension specifications can add further functionality to the core requirements. In particular, netCDF extension specifications are required for specific encodings. This document indicates which extensions, at minimum, need to be considered in addition to this core for achieving useful implementation standards. Therefore, the Technical Committee Chair recommends the TC: Approve \"OGC Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) Core Encoding Standard version 1.0 \" [10-090r2] as a new OGC standard . The document package is located on the portal at: http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=41355 This is a 60 day electronic vote and associated IPR review period. The vote will close on January 4, 2011. Comments are welcome. Please note that the final version of the document, if approved, is subject to final editing for modifications to the cover page and any typos identified during the voting period. Any comments received during the voting process will be processed and responded to be the document authors. ================================================ Please visit the vote, and if eligible cast your vote at: http://portal.opengeospatial.org/index.php?m=public&orderby=default&tab=3 Should you have any questions, please contact Carl Reed < creed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> or Greg Buehler <gbuehler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. _______________________________________________ TCVoter mailing list TCVoter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.opengeospatial.org/mailman/listinfo/tcvoter
