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
