[SEEK-Taxon] conference call follow-up, preparations for next Wednesday

[Nico Franz]

Hi all:

    this morning, in response to KU's modified "TES", Jessie made an 
important point that - at least with respect to TDWG - any changes to the 
TES now ought to come with a taxonomic rationale. We (KU) will try before 
Wednesday (our next call) to put together a small number of illustrations 
and examples that provide just that, and send them out to you. We would 
similarly benefit from un update on the experimental TES versions (now up 
to 0.60 from the May meeting's 0.50) posted at 
http://www.soc.napier.ac.uk/tdwg/index.php?pagename=TheSchema. Perhaps if 
we all come prepared with each other's short explanatory notes on these 
changes we increase our chances of moving towards a consensus.

Best,

Nico
