by Elspeth Haston 13 Oct '25

13 Oct '25

Dear all We will be continuing our weekly meetings on Thursdays but will be joined at some of these meetings by members of the expert panel who will be reviewing the documentation. Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89460818743?pwd=gySuYnBWcbbtTJbl9vXSpyDqaDE0jk.1 Meeting ID: 894 6081 8743 Passcode: 914802 We now have a fantastic team of people who have agreed to join our expert panel to review MIDS as part of the ratification process. There will not be a meeting on Thursday 23rd October during TDWG at which there will be a few MIDS presentations, including a summary for the TDWG session at the end of the conference. We hope to see you at any meetings that you can join. This should be a super interesting time as we review MIDS as a functioning draft to see how it actually works for the community.
