Everything seems to be going smoothly regarding ratification; Steve has generated the new list of terms and John has switched the status to "Process - prepare for executive review".
We should get ready to dissolve our Humboldt Task Group; the last deliverables are 7 published datasets using Humboldt. Zach, Ani and Wesley are mapping subsets of their data with Humboldt extension so we can have at least 5 examples.
TDWG Working Group meetings are coming up, from February 19-22 Task Groups are encouraged to meet more openly (zoom link from TDWG) to provide an opportunity for community members to learn more about what your group is doing and find out how they can participate. We need to decide if we want to do this. Our typical meeting time is not available but we could meet the same day at 13:00 UTC (one hour later). If we decide to meet in this format we should expect new people to join so we should socialize/publicize the extension. Not sure if it is worth it though.
Last week we decided that we would use our next meeting to discuss:
- ideas for potential new Task Groups (e.g., development of vocabularies for protocols/methods, development of vocabulary or extension for disturbance/management/etc.)
- advances on the Humbodlt paper, Rob S volunteered to start writing the overview with the main ideas for the paper.
Hope everybody is well, see you soon,
