<p class="MsoNormal">Cat and I will be restarting the TDWG MIDS Task Group meetings from next Thursday (20<sup>th</sup> April). They will be held every two weeks so that we can try to make good progress over the next month or two. You should receive an invitation
shortly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The call for organised sessions at the TDWG Conference 2023 closes on Saturday 15<sup>th</sup> April. Cat and I are not planning to submit a proposal for a MIDS session. However, we would be looking at holding a working session as we have
in previous years – we are not yet sure of the dates or format for these.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks to all of you who have been active in the Github. Apologies for having been slightly out of action for a bit of time. I had a back injury which has had a fairly big impact and I’m trying to catch up now. I’m really looking forward
to catching up with everyone at our online meetings.<o:p></o:p></p>
