When you are speaking of standards in the IETF, please adopt the
IETF's definitions. The IETF does not put the cart before the horse.
At best, what OGC have produced MIGHT be equivalent to something with
PROPOSED status. What is more likely, considering the methods
they've adopted, their contributions would be considered
INFORMATIONAL documents - which have no standing as something even
considered for standards track.
The OGC technical documents I was able to find discuss coordinate
representations and transforms. Perhaps someone familiar with the
OGC documents would be willing to bring them to the IETF's and
geopriv's attention. The geopriv WG might be able to use these
location models as part of the definition of a location object.

I was unable to find this document on the website by searching
www.locationforum.org. What do you mean by released? Unless it is
available to the public, it is impossible to judge whether it is
applicable to the IETF.
As for the so-called "Open Mobile Charter Initiative" after
searching for a couple of hours yesterday on the net, all I could
find was a flurry of press releases that were essentially
content-free. As far as I can tell, the charter hasn't been
published on the net. It beggars the imagination how this could
possibly meet any reasonable definition of "open".
