2007 December Stresa, Italy Votes and Motions
(Expanded from OGC News) The 63rd OGC Technical Committee meetings were held the week of December 10th in Stresa, Italy. The meetings were sponsored by the European Commission Joint Research Centre and ORCHESTRA. The dinner was sponsored by conterra GmbH. Over 150 individuals attended and participated in the various Working Group meetings.
During the meetings, the following document actions were approved by the Technical and Planning Committees. Please note that a period of up to 2 months can elapse between when a document motion is approved to when the action is complete and the document posted to the OGC public web site. This is due to a variety of reasons, such as coordinating final edits to the documents or completing an electronic adoption vote.
