Hi Yani,

In the latter part of the meeting, we also discussed:

- Whether the 'disturbance' (management, restoration, etc) topic and the sampling methods topic would require 2 task groups or be combined into one. I think the conclusion was 2 TGs.

- It might be best for the 'disturbance' TG to focus on human-induced changes, perhaps later extending to encompass 'natural' disturbances. The concern was that including any and all environmental change would be vague and intractable.

- Plans for producing educational materials on Humboldt Extn. Provisionally:
i. Kate supplements and finalizes the Guide, first quarter of 2024.
ii. Submission of proposals for workshops at ESA (Aug; already submitted) and BES (Dec; proposal deadline in May).
iii. Development of workshop content into more concrete materials.
iv. Potentially create a Humboldt module within the GBIF Training Course.

Noting this here, only because I'm not sure which parts you missed...

Best,

Ani

Dear all, 

My internet collapsed in the middle of the meeting so please add anything I missed but I wanted to share that we decided that we will not participate in TDWG Working Group meetings since the TG will finish soon and it is not worth involving new people. We would rather invest our time in socializing the extension outside the TDWG arena (documentation, paper, presence in conferences, etc.).

Best,

Yani

Dear all,

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, 

Yani
