Dear Steve, all,<br>
<br>
I completely agree with Steve suggestion to make our meeting more
active than the previous ones.<br>
After discussion with Anne-Sophie, I suggest to organize our meeting
as follows:<br>
<ul>
<li>Tuesday Afternoon : Plenary session<br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>Update from the Secretariat</li>
<li>Presentations of Collaborations and New Opportunities<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>Wednesday: we will split into thematic working groups<br>
Practically speaking we are limited to 3 groups in the morning
and 3 in the afternoon.<br>
</li>
<li>Thursday Morning : Plenary session<br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>Elections results<br>
</li>
<li>European Nodes Workplan 2015-2016<br>
</li>
<li>Conclusion<br>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br>
Therefore, I hereby invite you to suggest thematic working groups in
this <a
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iazqFoA0h6aF1WmJDPTXugVPnIgi2USUWJCFcoGbqmY/edit?usp=sharing">shared
document</a>.<br>
Those working groups shall have:<br>
<ul>
<li>a <b>name</b>, preferably short<br>
</li>
<li>a <b>theme</b>: an paragraph describing the subject, as
described by Steve</li>
<li>an <b>outcome</b>: what do we expect from the working group?<br>
(Don't be over-optimistic on the results of 2-3 hours of
discussion, be realistic.)<br>
</li>
<li>a <b>chair</b>: the person in charge of the working group
discussion<br>
The chair should prepare a short presentation/introduction
message to kick-off the discussion.<br>
</li>
</ul>
Since we only have 6 slots of working groups, we will run a poll to
determine the most popular ones. Only the top 6 will effectively
take place.<br>
<br>
Regarding the exchange of information before the meeting,<br>
The <b>preparatory survey</b> gives all the nodes the opportunity
the describe their current status.(see attachment)<br>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">This information will be circulated
ahead of the meeting and will briefly be presented at the
beginning of our meeting.<br>
So please fill-in this free-text questionnaire even if you are not
attending the meeting and return it to me. <u>Deadline is April
15th</u>!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Andre Heughebaert<br>

roll-out in Europe looks like it will happen
(though not clear on the extent). But what
generic enhancements are people looking at?
So, from the UK perspective I would really
like to be thinking about on-line data
capture and management. Ideally I would like
to be pulling together a meeting including a
range of partners from the UK and at least
Artportalen to see what can be learned from
what has been done already and sound out who
would contribute to something more generic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

wide modelling – I am fairly sure that some
of our (UK) species models would be more
powerful if we ran them over much wider
areas. To do this I dont need any of the
work benches (we have our own) but what I am
interested in data. So, is anyone interested
in pulling together (and maintaining) a set
of generic physical layers that we could
feed into species modelling. Additionally
under this there is the tricky issue of
consistent taxonomy too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of citizen scientists (/technicians) – one
area that we are exploring here is with our
Environment Agency. Specifically can we make
more use of citizen scientists to observe
particular suits of species that will give
an indication of water quality. E.g.
dragonflies or other invertebrates. This
might help to target where you monitor (i.e.
where the risk is highest). The challenge is
whether this could be adopted more generally
as an approach under the Water Framework
Directive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

back to the seabird modelling – there was an
idea at the last meeting around seabird
modelling (e.g. in relation to windfarms). I
have lost track of where we got to with the
application build around this – but there
has definitely been some work on modelling
that would be interesting to scale up to
broader scales (e.g. North sea).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a thought. I also wonder whether we couldn’t
have more communication before the meeting.
So rather than telling each other things at
the meeting could we have some updates ahead
– written? Sorry – I am just worrying about
spending another couple of days listening
where I do get useful “nuggets” of
information but is not that efficient use of
time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
