Hi Teresa,
I would what you refer to as “philosophizing” rather describe as trying to achieve conceptual clarity for the terms to be used and
their dependencies. If anything, I consider this the most important part of developing a set of standardized terms. Especially if they come in a bag. In fact, my suggestions to the abstract were aiming to clarify just that. Thank you for accepting these suggestions,
I have added myself as co-author now.
I received the same feedback from the organizers: only the presenting author is required to register for the conference.

Betreff: [EXT] Re: [dwc-material-sample] TDWG presentation authorship
Jutta and team,
Thanks for your contribution - I definitely added it in! I made this all very vague because I don't know exactly where we will be at the time of the conference. I did not want to over-promise on outcomes we might discuss. If anyone else
thinks this sounds negative - please edit or comment! I do plan to talk about the fact that we spent several months philosophizing - that isn't bad, I think it is reality when doing this kind of work and we should accept that as part of the process.
I would like everyone who has participated to sign on as an author if they are already going to TDWG or they are willing to register. I think it is a crappy policy to require all authors to register - and I will bring this up with TDWG
in conference surveys. Not all contributors to a presentation are able to attend the actual conference. Maybe go ahead and put yourself down as an author either way - who will be checking?
The abstract is due on Friday, but Steve is traveling that day, so I am trying to get it in today so that it will be one less thing for him to worry about. I'll give everyone until 2PM USA mountain time, then I'll prepare the submission.
Adios,
Teresa J. Mayfield-Meyer

Dear Teresa and Steve,
Dear all,
Thank you very much for initiating the abstract for TDWG2022.
Reading it yesterday, I added to it a small aspect that I thought was
missing. Likely I have been sufficiently involved to be a potential
coauthor. However, I am hesitating to add myself to the list, since I am
coorganizer for a symposium and workshop and won't be able to really
contribute to the development of the abstract and presentation.
Still, I wonder why nobody has added themselves as coauthors, since my
impression had been that we had been/are a rather inspired, good-natured
and engaged group.
Currently, the abstract doesn't seem to be a good description of the
group's process. It also sounds rather negative. I wonder if I am the
only one to perceive it in this way.
Until reading the text today, I thought that the atmosphere in the group
had been good, we discussed much more than what originally had been
planned (eg. AC, DES, GBIF, DwC "ontology"), however that seemed
necessary and productive. For the philosophical/theoretical topics that
I focused on, we seemed to share wide overlaps if not general consensus,
and did move towards common understanding(s), even if we didn't nail
this down explicitly. I thought actually we had the potential for a
paper or two in the making. In the end, Teresa, your moderation brought
us back to very concretely identify and define terms, the original goal.
SPNHC2022's viral parting gift had me in its grip at the time of the
last monthly meeting. Though, the next meeting is in my calendar and I
am very interested in the current state of the discussion on the iSample
vocabularies, having their application to GRSciColl in the back of my mind.
We are actually a pretty large group, let's be as communicative and
productive with the abstract and presentation as we have been throughout.
Best wishes,
Jutta
