Dear Colleagues,
Below please find a call issued by the Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG) Infrastructures Project (see www.tdwg.org), which has the aim to turn TDWG into a professional standardisation body for our community. I'd highly appreciate if you could take the time to answer the survey, and/or hand this on to others, because this may be rather important for the direction that TDWG will take.
With all the best for 2006
Walter Berendsohn (Chair)

Experiences from and after St Petersburg suggests that a survey of TDWG demographics is required. For example, potential changes to TDWG's name require consensus of what is TDWG's 'core business' and scope. To this end, a survey has been setup to get feedback on key issues. We would appreciate you and anyone that you believe are 'informed about TDWG' in the broader community taking ~12 minutes to answer the 12 questions.
The survey can be found at-

and will close on February 3 2006.
