Dear all,

Mailing list

We created a mailing list (tdwg-mids@lists.tdwg.org) for the recently launched MIDS Task Group to develop a standard for Minimum Information about a Digital Specimen (MIDS). We will use this to announce meeting details and other matters. To follow/contribute to the work, please join the mailing list. You can subscribe here: http://lists.tdwg.org/mailman/listinfo/tdwg-mids.

Next meeting

The next meeting of the MIDS TG will take place by Zoom at UTC 15:00 – 16:30 on Thursday 7^th January. Details will be announced on the new mailing list on 5^th January.
