Dear EM TC -

      
 

      
Lew suggested I provide an update
          on the plan to add the Circle geometry element to the OGC GML
          Simple Features profile. Given the known requirement for a
          circle geometry, a couple of months ago the editors of the GML
          Simple Features profile wrote an official Change Request to be
          applied to the profile. This week I spoke with the editors of
          the profile and they are happy to incorporate the circle
          geometry into the profile. I also spoke with the editor of the
          OGC Simple Features Interface standard (which is also an ISO
          standard) and he is happy to see this addition as he also
          needs to add the circle geometry to the OGC Simple Features
          standard. So, the harmonization stars have aligned. This
          represented general consensus that we can move forward quickly
          with this addition.

      
 

      
To further expedite the process,
          the OGC will use our corrigendum process which can get
          approval and public publication in as little as 30 days.
          Further, as OASIS and the OGC have a formal MoU, I can release
          the draft document directly to the EM TC prior to formal
          approval in the OGC.

      
 

      
Will keep everyone informed as we
          progress.
