These are relayed from Lance McKee; I thought I'd copied the oasis-charter-discuss list but I've not seen that email.

my comment (offered as an OGC consultant) that indoor and outdoor spatial locations and spatial relationships matter. But this is important for commerce as well. Geospatial standards from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), ISO TC/211 and IEEE 1451 are in wide use and need to be incorporated into the Smart Grid standards ecosystem. OGC and the buildingSMART Alliance recently completed the first in a planned series of multi-sponsor, multi-participant AEC-Owner-Operator (AECOO) Testbeds in which energy is an important focus. Follow-on AECOO Testbeds will likely involve the OGC Sensor Web Enablement and IEEE 1451 "smart transducer" standards. OASIS has a memorundum of understanding with the OGC. The OGC's CTO is Carl Reed (cre...@opengeospatial.org). The buildingSMART alliance contact for the AECOO testbed is Christopher Groome (chri...@b-r-t.co.uk). The IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society's Sensor Technology Technical Committee is chaired by Kang Lee (kang...@nist.gov).

Thank you for the opportunity to offer these comments.
