Cameron, Ron, Reese request approval for setting up of a Lexicon Committee

https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2019-October/012337.html
The name keeps changing but it is an important initiative
Wondering why this has to be a separate committee from standards
Helena (mailing list): Standards not a formal committee, just a working group.
New committee needs a chair for the board to approve.
ACTION: Angelos to provide feedback to Cameron
