Working Group

Workshop attendees representing particular taxa will prepare recommendations for their taxa, following a template to be distributed. Specialists will be recruited to treat taxa not represented at the workshop. The resulting compilation, incorporating some of the generalizations above, may be appropriate for submission to BioScience.

A working group should be established that will meet periodically to review standards and best practices for collection, preserving and archiving various taxa. The results of the workshop and the working groups should be maintained on a website for ready availability to Census projects and other interested parties.
