      | 2017 | Run through PRs and issues | All | [#418](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/418) - discussed how this interacts with qualified features. Specific example being proposed buildings and their different geometries and the need to use a different style for fuzzy geometries in EU/Germany. Discussion with NC requiredIssues for consideration: Confirming scope, Spatial Ontology
 | 
    
      | 2045 | CRS as ProjJSON-LD | All | Looking at whether CRS can be represented using Projection JSON. We would then define a JSON-LD context for it. This would require an OGC namespace, but we’ll need to consider who would sponsor the request through OGC-NA.TH - Can we make corrections in the spec since it’s already approved or is it too late? We need to check with Scott. ISO version could potentially have some fixes.
