I am very sorry I will not be able to celebrate the
submission of the extension for ratification. I am currently
on a train back to Germany with a poor internet connection
so I will not join the meeting today.
Some notes from my end that would be nice if you can
discuss today:
- the executive board meeting will be next Tuesday so we
will probably have news on the ratification by then. Let's
aim for a big meeting on Wed next week to celebrate!
- Wesley has shared a subset of eBird data mapped with
the Humboldt extension. Zach and Ani are still working on 2
more datasets. Once those are finished we can start the
process of ending the Task Group.
- Many of you have received an email from Lien Reyserhove
about a new task group (or activating an old one) on IAS
management and vocabulary (which I think could be expanded
to include disturbances and other habitat modifications).
She is organizing a meeting so let me know if you did not
receive her email and you are interested in participating.
- Work on the documentation and HE user guide is led by
Kate (and GBIF more generally). Please Kate, let us know if
you need anything from us.
Have a great meeting,
See you next week,
