Hello group,
It was a really nice and productive Skype call yesterday. Please see the minutes herehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1TECXyiGfuhMi6PLnp55jHngc0rznkqqDqO9hMWbVrMI/edit, and edit where necessary.
I'd especially appreciate details, links and clarification from Melodie, Shyama, John and Quentin, please pay attention to red font.
I am copying BONUS that we did not discuss and homework also below. I am not sending you the Doodle poll yet because of the option of meeting in connection to TDWG as explained below. BONUS - not discussed
· DS checked the timeline in ToRshttps://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzrSPi8wkHZ8d1lXOHdrc1ZOaGM and we are expected to produce a short intermediate report in July 2016. In addition to here-we-are-we-started-to-work, we could include the section structure and some early recommendation that would take shape after Leipzig. This can be very short, 3-4 pages, and it is likely to be included to the document package that is distributed before the GBIF Governing Board meeting, which will take place in October in Brazila.
· Following Quentin's observation that it is unfortunate that TDWG takes place after the final report is delivered, there might be an opportunity to postpone deadline and to have our second meeting after TDWGhttp://www.tdwg.org/conference2016/ in Costa Rica. DS and QG will be there, so maybe this is actually a better timed and cheaper opportunity? DS need to talk to Donald before sending you the Doodle poll for the II meeting dates.
