Hi Eamonn! Sorry for the late answer. The reason for being that late is, that I would be glad to join VoMaG, but I could not get more resources than 3 pd per year. So I think, that joining the core group would not fit to those small resources. Please let me know, whether I could do some smaller contributions or not.

regards

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: tdwg-tag-bounces@lists.tdwg.org [mailto:tdwg-tag-bounces@lists.tdwg.org] Im Auftrag von Éamonn Ó Tuama [GBIF] Gesendet: Freitag, 16. November 2012 13:38 An: tdwg-tag@lists.tdwg.org Betreff: [tdwg-tag] joining the TDWG vocabulary management task group

Apologies for any cross postings.

At its recent conference in Beijing, the TDWG Executive/TAG approved the formation of a task group on vocabulary management. It goes by the acronym VoMaG (Vocabulary MAnagement Group).

A revised charter (http://community.gbif.org/pg/file/read/28812/vocabulary-management-group-vo mag-charter-v1), outlining the goals and mode of working of the group is available on the GBIF community site (http://community.gbif.org/pg/groups/21382/vocabulary-management/). In the absence of a functioning TDWG site, we intend to use this site as the meeting place for discussions, sharing docs, etc.

Please consider joining VoMaG as a core member. You should email me and also register on the GBIF community site. You can log in using OpenID if you have a Google or Yahoo account. Once the core group is established, we can proceed with developing a work programme/timeline to achieve our goals.

With regards, Éamonn Ó Tuama
