Ben, Congratulations on getting this far. I have noticed a few small things, which I think can be easily fixed: 1.The abstract is a bit too abstract and convoluted for me. Also some grammar problems. 2. [4.2] Unicode characters can take up to 6 bytes, not 4, in UTF-8. Maybe the definition of a (NetCDF) char needs tightening up. E.g. Unicode is defined in terms of glyphs and encodings. What happens with a non-basic plane glyph from ISO10646 which may need more than 6 bytes? Perhaps you need a clear statement of restriction on Unicode to what works. Add reference to ISO10646 in [9 References]? 3. [4.3] What is a C structure? Is it like Pascal? Delete! ;-) 4. 'IEEE' types should refer to IEEE 754 etc. add to [9 References] 5. Please clarify any distinction between char [4.2] and character [4.14]. Does this affect 'string' at all? 6. I am not completely convinced by the 'common grid' requirement/conformance test, but willing to be persuaded. Sorry I didn't spot these earlier. Otherwise, happy to vote FOR.

If you know voting members of the OGC TC, please encourage them to vote soon on this candidate standard. https://portal.opengeospatial.org/?m=projects&a=view&project_id=82&tab=5&subtab=0 Many thanks. -- Ben ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Greg Buehler <gbuehler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 10:19 AM Subject: [OGC Portal] New Motion in the Technical Committee To: gbuehler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dear Technical Committee Voting Members: A new motion: Vote Details Vote Item 1: Approve NetCDF Enhanced Data Model Extension Encoding Standard [11-038r1] as a new OGC standard Start Date: 2012-07-09 End Date: 2012-09-07 Description: On July 1, 2012, the 30 day public comment period for “the Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) NetCDF Enhanced Data Model Extension Encoding Standard" completed. There were no comments. The current document is OGC 11-038r1. The netCDF classic data model has previously been established as the core OGC CF-netCDF standard. With this extension to the core standard for the enhanced data model, complex data structures can be represented very easily, allowing for more efficient programming. In performance-critical applications, the enhanced model provides significant benefits. Therefore, the Technical Committee Chair recommends the TC: Approve "NetCDF Enhanced Data Model Extension Encoding Standard” [11-038r1] as a new OGC standard . The document is located on the portal at: https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=49039 <https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=49039&version=1> This is a 60 day electronic vote and associated IPR review period. The vote will close on September 7, 2012. 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 vote at: Voting Page <https://portal.opengeospatial.org?m=projects&a=view&project_id=82&tab=5> Should you have any questions, please contact: Carl Reed III <mailto:creed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
