<DIV>This was part of my concern that I mentioned a few months ago about the current status of LSID resolvers that we have set up in the TDWG community.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps we need a task for the GUID/TAG interest group to have completed the list of these relevant LSID authorities and have them on the Wiki by the next meeting?</DIV>
<DIV>We should at least attempt to get the resolvers that we are "responsible" for ourseleves, on the wiki. </DIV>
<DIV>And an agenda item at the TAG subroup meeting, if there is going to be one? Roger?</DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">Hi Richard<BR><BR>I suppose that is the drawback of the LSID decentralised approach. Ricardo<BR>(and probably Kevin) will know of most, but very unlikely to be all. Maybe<BR>we should setup a simple registration record on the TDWG site. We could then<BR>send out an annual email far and wide to get updates. Meanwhile, we could<BR>just have a static list from the GUID pages (called lsidauthorites)?<BR><BR>Cheers<BR><BR>Lee<BR><BR>Lee Belbin<BR>TDWG Secretariat<BR><BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: tdwg-guid-bounces@lists.tdwg.org<BR>[<A href="mailto:tdwg-guid-bounces@lists.tdwg.org]">mailto:tdwg-guid-bounces@lists.tdwg.org]</A> On Behalf Of Richard Pyle<BR>Sent: Saturday, 16 February 2008 1:02 PM<BR>To: 'Ricardo Scachetti Pereira'; tdwg-guid@lists.tdwg.org<BR>Subject: [tdwg-guid] Active LSID Authorities<BR><BR><BR>Is there a (mostly) complete listing of active LSID Authorities?
