Hi For next week will be difficult to say when I am available, we have a Workshop all week in Tervuren and I will not be at home in the evenings, but stay there for local organisation. Tuesday and thursday, we have getogether and conference dinner, so surely not those evenings. Do you keep the logs somewhere for those who cannot attend in order to react later ?

[tdwg-ncd] FW: TIP Round-2 proposals
by Neil Thomson 01 Dec '06

Dear NCD'ers, This is fantastic news from Lee! I'm out of the Museum today and Monday, but will be in touch with Roger after that to pin down the refinements that are required. Speak with you soon, Neil -----Original Message----- From: Lee Belbin [mailto:leebel@netspace.net.au] Sent: Fri 01/12/2006 03:14 To: Neil Thomson Cc: 'Roger Hyam (tdwg)' Subject: TIP Round-2 proposals Hi Neil The TDWG Infrastructure Project Team has finally evaluated all the Round-2 proposals. As mentioned earlier, we had 28 proposals for a total of US$704,255 for a pot of ~US$250,000. The good news is that the Team has supported the funding of all of your projects- #16 - 'RDFS for NCD' #17 - 'Identify and database biodiversity organisations' #18 - 'Intro to NCD document' #19 - 'Ontology-NCD integration' #20 - 'NCD Workshop' There are a number of possible enhancements and some tuning that the Team wanted to discuss with you. We all believed that 'tweaking' of your projects should result in outcomes with greater benefit to the community. Roger has been tasked with this and reporting back to me. I have reserved additional funding that could be applied to ensure that the projects maximize their potential. Congratulations and best wishes Neil!
