<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We
had an informal meeting to discuss SPM at the TDWG meeting in Australia. In
order to move the standard forward, I agreed to help coordinate future
development of the standard. At the next TDWG meeting we should have a more
formal session to do some real work on the standard. However, there are a few
things we can do in advance. 1) we can rejuvenate this mailing list, making
sure that everyone who wants to be involved is part of the discussion, and 2)
we can have a side meeting at the e-Biosphere meeting in London June 1-3. My
understanding is that there are free spaces available for this and I will look
into availability and timing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>How
many people on this list would be able (and interested) to attend such a
meeting? Those who are not already planning to be at e-Biosphere we could
involve via the mailing list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
