Summary: This document is nearly ready for publication as an Informational RFC.  The following comment should be considered before publication.

Comments:
	The document provides a clear description of the reason and basis for the registration.
	I am concerned that the document does not seem to provide a stable reference for how a user would find the list of defined OGC resources and the Resource Specific Strings.  The description of the OGC process points to a Wiki page, and is merely an introduction.  (As a minor note, if this reference is to be published in this RFC, then the OGC should plan on maintaining an informational page or link at that location even if the Wiki is restructured.)
	There is a description of a beta version of a resolver to provide the registry.  As this is Beta, it is not clear if that is the stable and intended fashion for a user to examine the registry.
	So, while the document says that "The registration tables and information will be published and maintain by ONA on the OGC web site." I am concerned that this is not enough information.
	Note, as a reviewer who does not live in the URN world on a day-to-day basis, it is possible that I am asking too much of the registration.  But usually IANA tables are supposed to be such that an outside user can find the registered values from the pointers at IANA.
