<p class="MsoNormal">Dear GBIF colleague,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following the message earlier this week
announcing a consultation on licensing of data in the GBIF
network, I would like now to point your attention to a second
consultation which will also be running over the next two
months.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As planned in the GBIF Work Programme
2014-2016, this consultation relates to proposed modifications
to the way that new data sets are added to the GBIF network.
We wish for broad consideration of this matter by the whole
GBIF community. The consultation document, and a form for
submitting responses can be found at:<o:p></o:p></p>
