Catalogue of Life Global Team

Catalogue of Life Global Team

The CoL Global Team (max 20 members) consists of active participants who contribute to the taxonomic and IT policy, and to the design of the work programme. Team members bring in expertise in the field of taxonomy, biodiversity informatics and/or as Global Species Database (GSD) or regional checklist custodians. The Team develops criteria for selecting global and regional taxonomic content, ensures the project’s liaison in the taxonomic and informatics communities, recommends a work programme to the Directors, monitors progress of work and deals with quality maintenance issues. It meets every 6 – 9 months, rotating between continents. Working Groups (max. 15 persons) may be set up by the CoL Global Team for special areas. Two working groups exist: Information Systems and Taxonomy. The working groups are led by a member of the CoL Global Team but may include co-opted non-members.
