[TDWG-MIDS] Outcome of TDWG MIDS Task Group meeting - 2 June 2022

[Triebel, Dagmar]

Dear all,

yes, the meeting was successful. The participants had a lively 
discussion! Thanks go to Elspeth.

In the GoogleDoc attached some equivalent ABCD terms are missing,

Could the TDWG MIDS Task Group members from Berlin involved in ABCD 2.0 
and 3.0 please add these terms?

Best wishes

Dagmar
