Dear all,

Apologies if you have seen this announced elsewhere, but I am circulating wider 
for feedback as these proposed changes have potential implications for existing 
implementations, and the possibility of setting precedent beyond AudubonCore 
(see notes below).

The Audubon Core Maintenance Group opened a public comment period for three 
term-change proposals  on 15 January 2022. The comment period will continue 
until 15 February, or until consensus is reached on the proposal and there are 
no dissenting comments for 30 days. 

To view and comment on the proposals, visit 
https://github.com/tdwg/ac/milestone/5 and comment on the respective issues.  

NOTES
One of the proposals (https://github.com/tdwg/ac/issues/220) has technical 
implications that could set a precedent beyond Audubon Core (proposes using the 
W3C standard, "Semantic Annotation of Web Services Description Language and XML 
Schema," to document relationships between terms in different schemas). 

Another (https://github.com/tdwg/ac/issues/195) has potential implications for 
stability of existing implementations that use ac:subjectPart and 
ac:subjectOrientation. If these implications affect you, we strongly urge you 
to share your thoughts prior to the close of comment period.

Best,

Ed Baker
AudubonCore Convenor
