Dear group,

Seems like time zone: Berlin in our Doodle voting was not working or was not noticed.

I hope, however, that we can anyhow Skype on 8/9 June at the times indicated in the attached table.

Please let know in case you have problems with these dates and times.

Many thanks.

Best regards,

Dmitry Schigel

Dear Dmitry

Having a look at the Doodle poll do you not mean the skype date to be the 6-8am on the 9th Melbourne time - this was the one ticked by all of us as possible? This might still be the 8th in other time zones. 

Best

Melodie

Dear Task Group

A quick update and a few requests in preparation for our next skype discussion:

1. SURVEY: I have placed a first draft as a word document on the google drive called 'Survey structure and questions'. Please take a look at this and add comments and suggestions. It would be useful if we could finalise this during our upcoming skype discussion with a view to compiling it and sending it to our listed contacts shorty thereafter.

2. AGENDA items for skype discussion: I have suggested some below - please send any additional ones to me or Dmitry.

i. Invasive species and Darwin Core- TDWG [Quentin to provide background and update]

ii. Survey to GBIF users [MM to lead]

iii. Summary report to GIASIP as an input into our task [MM]

iv. Essential variables for invasion monitoring - background [MM]

v. Scheduling of activities going forward [Dmitry]

Many thanks and best wishes

Melodie
