First, big Kudos to Tim and John for a great webinar on <a href="https://www.gbif.org/new-data-model" data-auth="NotApplicable" title="https://www.gbif.org/new-data-model">
Diversifying the GBIF data model</a>. </div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
They not only gave a very clear introduction to the new "GBIF Grand Unified Model" but they also actively invited people to join our TG and test our proposal! Thank you!</div>

Second, John has agreed to help us with the test <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;">IPT for
the </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Humboldt extension. This would be very valuable for our

it would be a good idea to open this to everybody who is interested. Hence, tomorrow in our typical Wed meeting we will have some time to ask John questions regarding the IPT (and potentially how the new unified data model could impact that work).</span></div>
