[seek-taxon] Portugal Meeting Details

[Beach, James H]

SEEK Taxon WG Members:

We need to find a day or two days to meet at the TDWG meeting at the
Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia.

There are several TDWG activities going on from October 21 through the 25th
and 26th which are the two full days of the main TDWG meeting with
contributed papers. The names subgroup meets on October 23rd. Here's the
full schedule from TDWG so far:

It is going to be tough finding two days for which no one from the SEEK
Taxon WG will want to attend the TDWG meeting.

October 23rd is reserved for the TDWG names subgroup: all of us want to
attend that.
We were originally planning for the 24th and 25th for SEEK Taxon, that would
cut into the first TDWG plenary day.

Does anyone see any options for a two day SEEK schedule?

22nd and 24th?
24th and 25th?
How about 26 and 27?  The 26th will likely be trailing off and an extra day
on the 27th would give us undistracted time?

Please provide thoughts and ideas ASAP.

Many thanks,

Jim B.
