Gregor,

While it is not finalised just who is coming from PERTH, one of us will almost certainly be able to attend.

From our perspective we would favour sticking with the dates as

originally suggested for TDWG-SDD ie. 13-14 March in order to maximise overlap with the GBIF/Species 2000 people.

Dear friends,

the situation is slightly confusing for me, because I do not know who may attend. I think what has evolved so far is that:

A small meeting will be 11-12/11-13 in Canberra. Everybody is welcome who can make it, but so far only I, Bob, and Kevin are certain to attend.

We will then move to Sydney to the Catalogue of Life/Bioforum II on March 15/16th.

I would like to have another meeting there, in the hope that we can attract more people there. This could be either on 14th immediately before the meeting or 17th (which is Sunday) or after.

What I need to know is who would attend to this meeting?

I have information from Stan Blum and Liz Kolster, who are considering to come. Anybody else thinking about it?
