Focus and Scope

This 'journal' is a processing track for the submission and review of TDWG Interest and Task Group charters. The journal is an implementation of the new TDWG Standards Development Process (or TDWG By-Laws) ratified in 2006 (http://www.tdwg.org/about-tdwg/process/).

Note: The information gathered by this system during charter submissions and reviews is presented on the TDWG website (www.tdwg.org) by Typo3 CMS rather than OJS.
