Dear Teresa and all,
I had a look at the material in the package and apart from the discussions on how the quality of being a Sample or a Specimen is reflected in the definitions and alignment of the existing NTR for dwc:MaterialEntity wit the review package I think I would give the proposal within the chosen scope of activity a thumbs up.
I would like to suggest though, to consistently include as Demand Justification in the Term Requests simply the following phrase:
Material Sample Task Group, which includes representatives of over 10 organizations.
On the linked Task Group page, all organizations implicated in the group will be visible.
Thank you Teresa for putting up the review package!
Best
Christian

package review
MaterialSample Task Group Member,
We had set a goal to put a review package together by May 1 and although we are behind, we are close! Please review the currently proposed package. Each term has an associated issue linked at the top of the document. Add comments in the issues if you think anything needs further discussion/revision.
Although I have proposed changes to FossilSpecimen, LivingSpecimen and PreservedSpecimen, I am prepared to drop those if they are going to hold up the proposal of this package for public review. We have meetings scheduled for May 17 and my current goal is to finalize the package at those meetings, then submit the results to the main TDWG repo.
We are close to accomplishing something! I appreciate all of your time and effort on this Task Group and hope that we can wrap this up shortly.
Adios,
Teresa
