Dear Georgina, dear Karen,
this is to inform you (again) that my colleague Dr. Joerg Ochsmann (who is on vacations until October 3) will attend the meeting(s) in Australia. He would like to make a contribution to the Economic Botany Standard TDWG-subgroup, and give an oral presentation to the TDWG meeting. He will approach you upon return from vacations.
Please consider his participation in the meetings.
With best regards, yours,
Helmut Knuepffer

Plans for the 2001 TDWG meeting on Sydney continue to be made, although some of the associated meetings have been postponed. Some details from Karen Wilson, the local organiser follow:
BIODIVERSITY KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FORUM - Sydney, November 2001
We have had to change some of our plans for the Biodiversity Knowledge Management Forum here in Sydney in early November, unfortunately, because of the recent horrific events elsewhere. The Catalogue of Life workshop and Species 2000 meetings have been postponed, tentatively to early March 2002, in the week before the GBIF meetings in Canberra. However, support has been strong for us to continue with other parts of the BioForum in November, so we are doing that (subject, of course, to no further hostile activities). As well as the planned TDWG conference and IOPI, etc. meetings, we are also now planning a 1-day regional workshop tentatively entitled 'Bioinformatics and the GTI in Asia-Oceania' as partial replacement for the CofL workshop, on 8th November. Details of the changes are on the BioForum website at http://plantnet.rbgsyd.gov.au/bioforum/http://plantnet.rbgsyd.gov.au/bioforum/.
Email Karen Wilson or relevant conveners of meetings if you want further information. Those planning to take part in the various activities, could you please return the appropriate registration form soon so that we have an indication of numbers for catering, field trips, etc.
