Dear all,

 

Apologies for the delay in my replies caused by my travels.

 

Thanks to collaborative support from GEO BON, our task group meeting in Leipzig will be considered a closed satellite event for the GEO BON conference and will take place at iDIV. Technically, it means that we will have the room for the meeting and now you need to send your travel authorization form to GBIF. iDiv will send more info re: logistics to me later.

 

Please carefully read the GBIF travel guidelines: http://links.gbif.org/travel_guidelines.pdf

The procedure is that you 1) send the travel authorization form to GBIF, as described in the guidelines 2) get confirmation from GBIF (note today is public holiday in Denmark, so you will have a reply next week), 3) buy your ticket 4) claim travel refund after the meeting as described in the guidelines.

 

We have agreed that meeting is on 9-11 July, so our official travel dates are 8 and 12 July. You can also try to arrive on 9 July morning or leave on 11 July in the evening if that is preferred by you. Note, if you plan to come before the 8^th and leave after 12^th, GBIF will  reimburse the costs of the ticket up to the price of the travel on original travel dates – so you need to know this price anyway, and the hotel is refunded for 8-12 July.

 

Please send you travel forms to travel@gbif.org cc me, and after you get confirmations and buy tickets, I would also like to have flight numbers, dates and times of your plane tickets copied to me when you have those.

 

ACCOMODATION IDEAS

Previously I stayed and plan to stay at http://www.balancehotel-leipzig.de/, maybe it would be nice to be together.

If this won’t work, and since we are the satellite event to GEO BON, we can use their hotels and the booking code

http://conf2016.geobon.org/information/accomodation/, and Melodie is planning to stay in one of those, so we can, too when we know what is it. Let’s do the hotel booking after you have tickets.

 

Best regards,
