<p>I serve on the invasive plant listing committee for the Florida
Exotic Pest Plant Council. To list a plant species as invasive in
Florida, our rules require at least one voucher from a natural
area in which the plant has become established and is displacing
native flora. The means by which populations of invasive plant
species become established is important to us with regards to
early detection and rapid response as well as expanding our
understanding of the source of introduction (hurricanes, nursery
industry, inadvertent introduction, escapes from gardens, etc.). <br>

</div>
<div>Thank you for your effort in putting forth these welll
thought out proposals. At various times I have heard
discussions on the inadequecy of establishmentMeans. Your work
encapsulates the problem well. </div>
<div>One of the things that helps when proposing to add a Darwin
Core term is demonstrating that there is a community that
needs it. Can you tell us who has a demonstrated need to share
this information? Anyone out there who has this interest is
also welcome to share that here to provide evidence of demand
from more than one group, project or individual.</div>

<div>I've been working on a proposal to improve Darwin
Core for use with invasive species data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The proposal is detailed on GitHub at <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/qgroom/ias-dwc-proposal/blob/master/proposal.md"
target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/qgroom/ias-dwc-proposal/blob/master/proposal.md">https://github.com/qgroom/ias-dwc-proposal/blob/master/proposal.md</a></a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The proposal is for a new term "origin" and suggested
vocabularies for establishmentMeans and
occurrenceStatus.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd welcome your feedback on the proposal.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From my perspective it provides some needed clarity
on the establishmentMeans and occurrenceStatus fields,
but also adds the origin that is needed for invasive
species research and for conservation assessments.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not sure of the best way to discuss this, but if
you have concrete proposals for changes you might raise
them as issues on GitHub, as well as mentioning them
here.</div>
