Dear MEDIN Standards Group,

until recently, Mark Charlesworth had unilateral control over the
content of the MEDIN controlled vocabularies (data format categories;
Parameter Discipline Keywords; Data Guidelines; Marine Archaeology
Monument Types). This seems a good time to move to a more formal
governance of these vocabularies. We are going for the Standards Working
Group as content governance, with me as moderator.

It works like this:
1. Any updates to the vocabularies (new terms, corrections to existing
descriptions etc.) are proposed to the whole Standards Group via the
mailing list. 
2. Anybody in the group is welcome to add their own comments about,
modifications to, or arguments against the proposed update. Please use
"reply to all" so the whole group is kept up to date with the
discussion. I will watch out for any technical problems with the
proposal.
3. When an update is proposed, I'll give it a reasonable time (depends
on how urgent the update, or whether it's the middle of the Christmas
holidays) to allow everybody to respond if they want. If there are no
objections within that time, or once any debate has been resolved, I'll
implement the change and notify the group.

If anybody has any questions or comments, fire away.

Jenny
