The word "recommendation" itself is culturally loaded. Here in the
north everyone just ignores any recommendation as just another
opinion. But in the Latin culture a recommendation is something
that must be followed. Learning this was part of my training when
working in an unnamed international agency, where they wanted to be
sensitive about cultural differences. I never thought it would be
relevant for TDWG as well. <span class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-)
