The Documentation Editorial Panel (EP) is a volunteer group of experts, coordinated by the GBIF Secretariat, that manages the GBIF documentation system through a peer review process. Additionally, the EP will provide recommendations to the GBIF Secretariat on commissioning high-priority guidance from subject-matter experts. The EP will be comprised of one member from each region within the GBIF Network, along with three members of the GBIF Secretariat. - EP members should have experience both in writing and reviewing technical documentation for the biodiversity informatics community. - EP members are encouraged to commit to a two-year term, but can serve longer. - EP members will be recognized as a part of the GBIFS volunteer community alongside mentors, open data ambassadors and translators. Please review the Terms of Reference for further details about the panel. Nominations should include the individuals name, role, institution, email and motivation for joining the panel. And should be submitted *to Anne-Sophie Archambeau or Liam Lysaght by 1 Feb 2019*. On behalf of your Regional Representatives, I encourage you to spread the invitation to whoever might be concerned, -- Ir Andre Heughebaert GBIF Node Manager at Belgian Biodiversity Platform +32(0)2238 3796 Av.
