Dear Ramona and all,
I've made a summary of the comments so far and have added them to the
GitHub Wiki (
https://github.com/qgroom/ias-dwc-proposal/wiki/A-summary-of-key-points-from-discussions-of-the-IAS-DwC-proposal
).
Please let me know if I've missed or misunderstood something.

Regarding "*some concrete next steps for moving forward*".

   - We intend to discuss the proposal in the GBIF Task Group on Invasive
   Alien Species (
   http://www.gbif.org/newsroom/news/invasive-alien-species-task-group-launched
   ).
   - I will also try to present the proposal at Neobiota 2016, it is too
   late to get a talk, but there is a premeeting where I might get the
   opportunity  (http://www.neobiota2016.org/).
   - I've submitted an abstract to TDWG 2016 and have applied for funding
   to get there.
   - We're currently working on a project proposal where we use these
   fields in automated workflows to provide IAS information.

Some of these steps are more concrete than others, and I would welcome
additional suggestions.

Regards
Quentin
