Dear Tag,
There has been some discussion concerning quality assurance in TDWG standards. You may have seen the new wiki page that has been introduced on the subject.
http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/QualityAssurance
The executive committee is required to ask the TAG its opinion on the formation of new Task and Interest Groups and also on the passing of new standards. The TAG needs a framework for expressing this opinion. People submitting new group charters and standards need to know what the TAG will be looking for when it assesses their proposal
The wiki page contains a provisional list of these criteria. These will form the basis of a brief document that Jim Graham and I will put together over the next couple of weeks to act as a more formal guide to other members of TDWG.
Please review the list on the page and add your comments and changes. We will probably only have time to briefly circulate the document for review so it would be really helpful if you could get your comments in now.
Many thanks,
Roger
