Hi all, Thank you so much to all who have contributed to the manuscript. *For the ones that are still interested in contributing, please remember you have time until Feb 3 (MS here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I7RRu6mj7u53-zz6c_8ZIYqLsNMA0o6VwP3fuSTMWcI/edit?tab=t.0>). *Ideally, I would have some time to go through your comments and consolidate them before our *meeting on Wednesday 5 at 12 UTC. * *If you have conflicts with the time of the meeting (I maintained the original meeting date and time), please let me know and I am more than happy to meet separately or coordinate differently.* The success of next week's meeting is highly dependent on your input so reading the current state of the manuscript would be beneficial. The proposed agenda for the meeting is below but it is quite flexible regarding new comments or insight collected during the upcoming week, so please share freely. *Proposed agenda (wed 5)* - Figures, particularly Fig 1 since the message is still not clear. - Structure of sections and content, in particular regarding how to handle the case studies. - Sections or categories in which the terms have been organized. Current classes are described in https://eco.tdwg.org/terms/. Some of them may not be intuitive and we might need to double-check these. - Next steps regarding journals and potentially approaching editors in advance - Consensus on repeated terms or concepts (data collection process, inventory types, etc) Thank you again, and see you next week! All the best, Yani
