<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Dear MEDIN Standards Working Group,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At the Standards Working Group (SWG) meeting in March, the Group agreed the priority guidelines to be reformatted throughout 2015-2016 should be:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Marine Litter (now sent out for review)</div>
<div>Sediment and rock characteristics from grab and core (now sent out for review)</div>
<div>Magnetometer data </div>
<div>Shellfish stock assessment data.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At the last SWG meeting, in London in October, there was a discussion about whether the guidelines to be reformatted should be re-prioritised, given the projected timescale to get them all converted to the new format. I was requested to obtain download
statistics of the various guidelines to see if this could assist in any potential re-prioritisation. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have now managed to get access to the download statistics for this year, to date. Below is the list of the guidelines being downloaded which are not yet re-formatted, quantified by number of downloads. Can the Group please inspect this list and compare
it to the two remaining guidelines assigned back in March, and come to a decision as to whether a re-prioritisation is necessary, and if so, for which guidelines?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sean Gaffney</div>
