Dear colleagues,

The two videos are ready and available in YouTube and we have planned to broadly disseminate them this Tuesday (June 18^th). To facilitate the promotion of these videos, we have made a dissemination plan. It would be great if you can support this plan by completing some of the following tasks:

Tuesday at 8:00 am (CESP) – I (Administrative LA Community Manager) publish the attached news on the LA community website, upload the videos to the website (embedding them in the Homepage) and publish a tweet in the new LA Twitter account (@LivingAtlases).

After this, throughout the day:

·         GBIF.org uploads the videos to the CESP project website.

·         GBIF.org adds the videos on the Homepage.

·         GBIF.ES uploads the videos to the CESP project website. If other members have also created an specific website for this CESP project on their organization websites, it would be awesome if they upload the videos in there.

·         Rest of LA community members upload the videos on their organization websites (where they consider).

·         If possible, all LA community members add (embed?) the videos on their organization Homepages.

·         All LA community members publish this news on their websites in the language(s) they consider (i.e. GBIF.es will publish the news in Spanish and English).

·         GBIF.org and the whole LA community (if they have a Twitter account) repost the original tweet published by Marie at 8:00 am (CESP).

·         Optional but desirable – GBIF.org and the whole LA community (if they have a Twitter account) publish a personalized tweet about the videos. Personalization could be, for example, a tweet in our local languages. This is especially relevant because our own tweets allows us to tag other profiles and increase the impact of our posts. Please, do not forget to mention the LA community account (@LivingAtlases).

·         If other LA community members use a different social media channel from Twitter, it would be nice if they also disseminate the videos trough them.

·         GBIF.org notifies the wider nodes community by email.

·         All LA community members notify their local contacts by email.

We will be very grateful if you can support this dissemination plan as much as you are able. If you have any doubts related to any of these tasks, please, do not hesitate in sharing it. We will be glad to help you.

Thank you for the support!

Best regards,
