Hi All,

Following discussions in the community around two years back , I did raise the open standards in  LiDAR issue through an open letter [1][2] as it  affects our academic colleagues and students working in LiDAR research and teaching and  also will have long term impacts on Open Principles in Geo Education.

May I request those having queries on updates on open standards in LiDAR  to contact OGC staff directly . As  open geo standards organisation this is OGC’s job to follow up on open standards for this. I understand that  OGC have started the point cloud DWG activities . I  have put my complete trust and faith in the OGC's process and I am hopeful there will be consensus build. I am requesting everyone to be please patient and support fully this DWG activities.  OGC staff will be able to provide the latest updates etc. 

I want to thank all colleagues who supported the Open Letter.

Best wishes,

Suchith
