Hello all,

Just to let you know that this week I will set my out of office reply for a couple of weeks. FYI Kate Ingenloff will be back to work on 24 July, and I – on 25 July.

I would like to flag two things here:

• From the GBIF work perspective, ratification in 2023 is a very positive move. We are happy to help, but neither Kate nor I are very experienced in TDWG formalities. John Wi or Steve, will one of you lead the work? Please count on us – from the dates mentioned above. We will certainly consult with Tim Robertson.
• I will represent GBIF Secretariat at the ESA 2023, which is an interesting audience for the Humboldt thinking. GBIF will do two things: a Data dialogues session on Monday https://esa2023.eventscribe.net/agenda.asp?startdate=8/7/2023&enddate=8/7/2023&BCFO=&pfp=BrowsebyDay&mode=&fa=&fb=&fc=&fd= (where Rob has a slot – for Humboldt maybe?) and I may also give a GBIF talk at one of the NEON session. Just mentioning also to check if other Humboldt people will be at ESA? We discussed that 2023 may be a bit early for proper “product placement” of the extension, but just checking if there is a chance to meet.

Thanks,

Dmitry
