Leadership Discussions

• Staff should take a more active leadership role in the work of the OGC standards development process.
• Greater staff leadership over key issues and policy positions.
• Staff needs to continue to work with members to define Technology and Market trends.

Perhaps an OGC staff member should be engaged to specifically support adherence to architectural constraints. For example, REST has a wildly variable understanding in (and to be fair, outside of) OGC. However, when you look at the actual formal definition of it, it is quite clear and simple, although perhaps it takes an expert to understand it enough to apply it correctly. OGC staff expertise could be useful to apply this type of discipline to standards evolution.
