Possibly, but given what passes for an 'ontology' today suggests
that some processes are needed. One goal of the OOR is to promote
best practices. We expect some of these best practices to be
represented/implemented in the OOR 'Horribly bureaucratic processes'. (03)
For example, provenance. Many (perhaps most) ontologies fail to
provide the provenance for the development of the terms and
relations that occur in the ontology. So that if someone is
looking for a 'good' ontology, what evidence will there be
to justify a decision to use one ontology over another. (04)

Well, I do think the OOR is not attempting to provide ego support.
The value of ontologies is, and will be, the ability to use them
independent of their originating source/sponsor/creator. (06)

Such minimal criteria will prolong the creation/propagation
of poor quality ontologies and reinforce the fragmentation
and duplication of efforts that currently takes place in
this area. (08)

Horribly bureaucratic process. No way this will be able to get any
following among application developers.
The only criteria for submitting an ontology to a central repository
should be some claim on the namespace.
Our company owns "com.artifact-software" and I should be able to submit
any ontology that I want as long as I supply the minimal metadata to
permit the OOR to index it.
If people like the license that I give and can merge the ontology with
the rest of their set, then they will use it.
Adding a bunch of gatekeepers is only going to make the marketplace go
elsewhere.
