Subject: Update on Hosted Portals Pilot phase - and doodle poll for next meeting

 

Dear all,

 

We would like to share some important updates with you and plan for our next group meeting.

 

Global Nodes Meeting

We have been very busy with the virtual Global Nodes Meeting held last week. In case you missed it, you can see a video update from Morten on the hosted portals work prepared for that meeting. This received interest and support from the broader nodes community, who were already starting to consider how we can take this work further beyond the pilot phase.

 

Privacy policy and terms of service

We have been following up with legal advisors to develop these and hope to have something ready to circulate to you all soon. You can track how we plan to implement the privacy policy in this issue.

 

First portals ready to launch

We are working with the teams for the Pacific Biodiversity Information Portal and Natural History Museum Rotterdam to get ready to launch in the coming weeks. This will represent an important milestone in our pilot phase and we hope that many more of your portals will reach this stage in the coming months.

 

New Zealand joining the group

We received an expression of interest from the recently appointed New Zealand node to join the pilot phase, identifying this as the right time to try to expand national activity. This was approved and we are happy to have one more participant in the pilot phase!

 

Lower capacity over the Copenhagen summer

Many of us will be taking holidays over the Copenhagen summer months (July and early August) so please be prepared for slower response times in this period.

 

Next call
We would like to have our next call on our return from the holidays. Please complete the following doodle poll by 8 July 2021 to show your availability:

We would like to use this call to get updates from all of you on the progress of your portals and to hear your ideas on the future of the hosted portals work in GBIF - moving beyond the pilot phase.

 

Looking forward to speaking with you all after the summer. 

 

Best regards,
Hosted portals team
