Hi. I am on the Executive of a non-commercial organisation calld the Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG). When searching for some definitions for a Glossary for TDWG in Wikipedia, it occured to me to add an entry for TDWG (as there wasn't one - but there was one for a similar organisation IETF).

To SEED a short entry, I used some text from the TDWG Web site with minor changes. I figured that was a fair definition of the organisation and goals. I figured that once published, I'd inform other TDWG Executive members and key TDWG membes to update it accordingly.

It didn't get that far! The copyright got it! Ironically, I'm currently working on a project that addresses IP and copyright for TDWG!

So, how do I get the TDWG text released!!??
