Subject: [DFFU_IAS] GEO BON
Dear Greg, John, Shyama, Varos, Quentin and Dmitry
I have discussed GEO BONs activities with some of you. I have taken the liberty of listing our 'gap analysis' project - to be led by Greg - as a project under GEOBON's activities on developing the Species Distributions EBV (SD_EBV) -- there
is a specific invasions activity that forms part the work of this group.
The only implications of listing the project here is that everyone knows we are doing the work, we can benefit by the networks and links involved and take advantage/piggy back on GEO BON meetings etc (we will acknowledge them too). In this
way we are aligning our work with the greater cause. Quentin, Dmitry and Donald are already involved with GEO BON - as is GBIF. Once the work is done, we also get to distribute via GEO BON channels.
The doc hasn't been circulated yet, so let me know if you have any concerns. I have also added you to the Species Populations/SD_EBV mailing list so that you will receive a copy of the relevant document, provide input and become part of
the community. PLEASE let me know if you would prefer me to take your name off the list - we can do so at any point.
Many thanks
Melodie
