+title:  openEO submitted to OGC for consideration as an OGC community standard
+date:   2023-12-06
+author: Matthias Mohr
+---
+
+The openEO PSC is happy to share that we have submitted openEO to OGC for consideration as an OGC community standard.
+More specifically, the [submission document](https://github.com/Open-EO/PSC/blob/main/documents/ogc-submission.adoc) justifies why the openEO API specification (version 1.2.0) and the openEO process specification (version 1.2.0) are - from our point of view - a good candidate for an OGC community standard.
+We hope OGC accepts our documents and establishes the corresponding procedures soon.
+
+The members of the openEO PSC voted to submit the justification document to OGC by unanimous consent.
+We are glad that the following OGC members confirmed to support the OCG submmissin of openEO:
+
+* University of Münster - Institute for Geoinformatics
+* Eurac Research
+* VITO (Flemish Institute for Technological Research)
+* GeoConnections - Natural Resources Canada
+* EUMETSAT
+* European Space Agency (ESA)
+* EOX IT Services GmbH
+* Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd
+* Planet Labs PBC
+* German Aerospace Center – DLR
+
+We'll keep you updated about the progress. The next step is likely a public request for comments.
