More than the minimum 30 days required for the public review of Audubon Core have passed and I've received comments from everyone who told me that they planned to comment. I am therefore closing the public review period. The review guidelines at http://www.tdwg.org/fileadmin/documentation/guidance_docs/ReviewManagerGuide... require that Public Review comments be visible to all. Since many of the comments I received were emailed directly to me rather than to the tdwg-content list or posted on the Issues Tracker, I've posted a digest of the comments at http://code.google.com/p/auduboncore/wiki/RecordOfPublicReview for public inspection.
As a result of these comments, a number of issues have been opened by commenters or by me based on the submitted comments. These issues can be viewed at the Audubon Core Issue Tracker http://code.google.com/p/auduboncore/issues/list
I would like to thank everyone who took the time to read the specification and comment. I think that the standard will be strengthened based on your comments and look forward to working with the authors to implement many of your suggestions.
Steve Baskauf Audubon Core Review Manager
