<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Peter, Rob S., and I met this morning and thrashed our way through the Miscellaneous section from ALA in the Google doc
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OxJ_H5vBd9pucjdgQDa6qMaQKl4O89gf/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116355305033345986500&rtpof=true&sd=true" target="_blank">

</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">In the Miscellaneous section, we believe that we have addressed the issues that were raised; for each of them there is a description of our conclusion in the notes (following “Steve:” in each case). In each
of the cases, we concluded that no action was required based on the reasons we gave. We spent quite a bit of time discussing whether the term samplingEffortProtocolReferences should be added. Our conclusion was that it should not, since the specific amount
of effort applied in a particular survey would often be unique to that survey and therefore not likely to actually be published anywhere. It’s really a specialization of a published protocol that would be cited in protocolReferences. If for some reason multiple
users found a real need for the term it could be added later using the normal DwC term addition process. If you concur with this reasoning, then Issue #87 would need to be closed without taking action.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Based on discussion in previous meetings, we concurred that adding verbatimTargetScope was probably necessary, so we also created the new term verbatimTargetScope in Issue #96
<a href="https://github.com/tdwg/hc/issues/96" target="_blank">https://github.com/tdwg/hc/issues/96</a>.
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">We pressed on with the discussion beyond the normal meeting time in order to wrap this up. We were in agreement that it would be really desirable to have this done by the end of calendar 2023. Yani, if you
can verify that we’ve actually addressed all of the issues that ALA raised and ping John about that, we can set the 30 day clock running prior to the end of November. That would allow us to submit before or soon after Jan 1. Once the clock is running, Yani,
John, and Steve could be working on making sure that the spreadsheet is up to date with any changes that we made so that the QRG and List of Terms can be updated for final submission by the DwC Maintenance Group to the Executive for ratification.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

targets that are not included in the more explicits target scopes (e.g. targetTaxonomicScope) at least until new target scopes are proposed, and give more flexibility in the scope reporting, that is why we propose to include it as a verbatim term. This term
