Dear Ramona and all,
I've made a summary of the comments so far and have added them to the
GitHub Wiki (
https://github.com/qgroom/ias-dwc-proposal/wiki/A-summary-of-key-points-from-discussions-of-the-IAS-DwC-proposal
).
Please let me know if I've missed or misunderstood something.
Regarding "*some concrete next steps for moving forward*".
- We intend to discuss the proposal in the GBIF Task Group on Invasive
Alien Species (
http://www.gbif.org/newsroom/news/invasive-alien-species-task-group-launched
).
- I will also try to present the proposal at Neobiota 2016, it is too
late to get a talk, but there is a premeeting where I might get the
opportunity (http://www.neobiota2016.org/).
- I've submitted an abstract to TDWG 2016 and have applied for funding
to get there.
- We're currently working on a project proposal where we use these
fields in automated workflows to provide IAS information.
Some of these steps are more concrete than others, and I would welcome
additional suggestions.
Regards
Quentin
