Hello group,
Please share, tweet, FB, etc.

We are at a healthy 58 responses now, thanks to your patience to remind your power users.
Let's see where we are in one month from now.
I can imagine that Tim Hirsch and Shyama will use IUCN congress to promote the survey, and Quentin will do the same are NEOBIOTA.
Please let me know any support from the Secretariat in pushing this ahead.

Hello group,
Based on the Doodle poll (and assuming that Greg cannot make it because of the time of the day), I have picked "Monday, September 19, 2016 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (Time zone: Eastern Time (Melbourne))" as final option(s) for the Doodle poll "GBIF DFFU-IAS September 2016 Skype call."
You can check your time slot here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2016&month=9…
Kindly mark your calendars and see you online soon - this will be our last regular Skype before we see each other in Melbourne. I hope you all now have tickets and booked the accommodation using the promo code sent to you earlier. Please remember the tasks distributed recently by Melodie.
Donald confirmed that he will not join our Skype call and will communicate with Melodie directly.

Dear Greg, Varos, Shyama, Quentin, John and Dmitry
A quick update on where we are and actions needed:
1. *SKYPE CALL EARLY SEPTEMBER*: Dmitry will soon circulate a Doodle poll
for a skype meeting in the 1st half of September - please respond as soon
as you can. This discussion is essential preparation for the Melbourne
meeting. (Dmitry we were going to request some input from Donald during
this meeting)
2. *SURVEY*: We have had about a 60% response rate from our expert users.
None yet from your group Greg? The responses we do have are very helpful
and do include some key people. I suggest we go ahead and circulate the
survey now as it is (without edits) to a broader group as planned? Anyone
have any objections?
3. *PLEASE REVISIT OUR/YOUR TASKS FOR PRE-MELBOURNE*: Table 1 is essential
work pre-Melbourne and Table 2 is a bit of a combination. Please add any
comments or edits and think about what is achievable and relative
priorities and timelines for tasks, especially from Table 2. We will
discuss this during the skype meeting. Task document accessible at:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DaaT70IlW6sh0ARt4oUpHVsrU1zdbF6ic9czRruc5…
4. *AGENDA*: Below I have listed a draft set of agenda items for discussion
during the September skype meeting - please e-mail me any
additions/suggested changes.
Many thanks all for your ongoing work on this
Best
Melodie
*PROVISIONAL AGENDA ITEMS FOR SEPTEMBER SKYPE DISCUSSION*
1. General update from everyone on relevant developments and progress [All]
2. Working through and finalising the list of tasks pre Melbourne and to be
conducted at Melbourne [Melodie and all]
3. Survey update [Dmitry - some provisional results?]
4. Ask Donald is he would provide some background and details on relevant
key partners for supporting IAS data, the nature of the relationships,
formal and informal arrangements, potential for enhancing these and adding
new ones (Dmitry could you arrange this?)
5. Planning for Melbourne: update (Dmitry and Melodie)
6. ............................

Dear All,
at the Leipzig meeting Melodie suggested that I create a "one-pager"
summerizing the proposed changes to Darwin Core for IAS. It is a little
over a page, but you can find my first draft here...
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vJLvH9t_GPV8PSwtvFtIaytz2twJIJT931SxL_g…
Let me know if this is what you were expecting, what would be useful to add
or any other comments and improvments.
Regards
Quentin

Hello group,
Melodie requested the survey status update, I reply to all as you might like to take action.
38 people responded (IASSurvey), including 26 people in total from the spreadsheet have answered so far from your 60+ invited experts, see column K in our tracking table [1]. All the rest in the table did not react, and I appreciate you remind your few experts about the importance of their input. As you remember, we will open the survey to broader audience in early Sep. It would great to tidy up the responses from the “power users”. In addition, 10 people, who weren’t on the target list of power users have answered (NonExperts, the ones not in yellow).

Hi Shyama,
all,
Hope you have some time in between preps for the IUCN congress for this:
Tim Robertson would be ready provide custom data, and Quentin to analyze those for the task we discussed in Leipzig. I understood you have or can generate the lists of IAS?
It would be fantastic to progress with this before our next Skype call.
TASK as I described it to Tim R:
IAS fitness for use group would like to know some data publishing and data access stats from GBIF.org, is it possible to have such things for given list of species vs. all vs. same number of randomly picked species? The lists of IAS are 100, 5,000 and 20,000 species strong. All the comparisons would be over time (since 2008) for target IAS / all / random species. IAS group is interested in things like:
o Rate of publishing
o Data access
o Lag btw collecting date and date when available at GBIF.org
EXPECTED OUTPUT
Tim confirms that we can return a simple CSV of the records over time that match that, including the snapshot dates (the 28 views of GBIF over time).
Field would be: id, kingdom, family, species, lat, lng, dataset, snapshotDates[]
Snapshot dates would list the indexes (e.g. June 2010, December 2010) that it was seen in.
INPUT NEEDED
Three different IAS lists of species. I think 100, 5,000 and 20,000 refer to 100 worst and two versions of the GRIIS lists.
If we are fast with this, you or Tim Hirsch (cc) would be able to present this at the IUCN congress at the IAS day.
I will be ready also to make the early survey signals slides for the same occasion. So far we have 37 responses out of 60+ invited power users.
I wonder if the group could ask their expert contacts one last time before we open the survey for broader circulation?
Thanks,
Dmitry
