Hi folks,

Great job getting through this major milestone. I will proceed to create
the extension definition by making an updated version following the model
of the previous version (
http://rs.gbif.org/sandbox/extension/Humboldt_2020-12-11.xml) to avoid any
delays.

Even if the name for the product changes, I don't think there is any point
in changing the Task Group name. It is an ephemeral entity that began its
work with the Humboldt Core (even if it was an extension), An outcome can
be a name change without affecting the name of the group. Furthermore, the
proposed name may meet with resistance within TDWG anyway, There is a
movement to avoid using historical figure names in standards. To avoid
having our progress get caught up in any of that, Tim R and I propose to
move forward right now without trying to incorporate a name change so as
not to impede the great momentum. Since we are still testing it won't
really affect the final product name or namespace, but it may be important
to make testers aware that the name is not set in stone.

Cheers,

John
