[tdwg-tag] TAG meeting Sunday 27 October

21 Oct 2013


      To Conveners and TAG members coming to TDWG in Florence,
For preliminary discussion, an agenda/outline for the TAG meeting on
Sunday. I don't expect that the meeting will necessarily unfold this way -
it is just a starting point.  Tomorrow, I will find a more appropriate
place to put it.
