If you think a particular OGC standard should be fast tracked to ISO/TC 211, this is what you need to do.

In this table, the person or WG with the idea is described as the “initiator”. The green rows are ‘joint’, the yellow rows are OGC, the red rows are ISO and ISO/TC 211. The process begins at Step 1 for a proposed OGC Standard where ISO/TC 211 would like to participate in development. The process begins at Step 7 for an existing, approved OGC Standard.
