The charter of the Vocabulary Maintenance Specification Task Group was approved by the TDWG Executive on 2015-05-11. The purpose of this group is to produce Standards Documentation Specification and Vocabulary Maintenance Specification standards that will clarify the processes by which TDWG vocabulary standards would be documented, amended, and maintained. The work of the task group will be documented on the TDWG GitHub site at https://github.com/tdwg/vocab where you can read the group's charter for more details and background.
If you would like to participate in the work of the group, go the GitHub link for the group and "watch" the repository. This will allow you to receive email notifications when issues are raised and comments are made. Discussion will be facilitated and documented by raising issues and commenting on them using the GitHub Issues tracker. If you have further questions, please contact the task group convener, Steve Baskauf at steve.baskauf@vanderbilt.edu .
