<DIV>Just a thought...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>REST based services seem to be gaining a lot of momentum lately, so I
wonder if we should mention them in the RoadMap ??</DIV>
<DIV>I would at least like to bring up the subject at some point during
the TDWG meeting, and look at how REST may fit in with LSIDs, etc.</DIV>

<DIV>Dear TAG Member,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>With kind support from others I have now pulled together what I believe
is the text for the 2008 Roadmap. I will polish this some more but do not plan
to change it radically. This will be presented to the conference in
Fremantle next month as the output of the TAG.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>

href="http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/RoadMap2008">http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/RoadMap2008</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Please take a few moments to read this through and edit or comment on the
list if you don't agree with it or think anything is missing. I will take
silence as assent!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On or around the 8th October I will convert the wiki page into a PDF and
start distributing it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I wish to stand
down as convener of the TAG as of the Fremantle conference. I
believe it would be good for the TAG and TDWG to have some fresh blood in this
position. I still hope to continue contributing to TDWG but perhaps in
different ways.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The procedure for choosing a new convener is somewhat vague but I believe
it should be done through group consensus. Perhaps we could start a discussion
on this list and those who are coming to Fremantle could discuss it
further.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Who do you think should take this forward? Would you like to take this
forward?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>All the best,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Roger</DIV>
