Dear Tags,
Bob Morris and Chuck Miller have made some interesting comments on
this page in the wiki:
http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/QualityAssurance
I'd like to throw this open to a wider audience as I am aware that
many of you are not on the notify list of the wiki pages.
The question in hand (as I see it) is this.
The TAG has a role to play maintaining the "quality" of TDWG
standards. If the executive (or any other member of TDWG) asks the TAG
what its opinion on a particular standard or proposed activity is how
should the TAG respond.
1) Should it have a list of criteria that guide it in assessing the
standard/activity?
2) Should it take a completely ad hoc approach to each request?
My opinion is that we should have at least a list of basic criteria
even if some of those criteria are not appropriate to all situations.
Before we embark on building such a list does anyone disagree with the
notion of having a list at all?
I'll take a week of silence as assent.
Many thanks for you brain cycles on this,
Roger
