 *Una Farrell (Paleoniches TCN) and Paul Farrell (SCAN TCN) are invited to join.
 GWG working group members have wiki accounts to create content
+The GWG list of projects to work on is being reviewed for scope and cost.
+Train the Trainers (TTT) Workshop Planning.
+*Decision to train neophytes just after the Trainers workshop was modified for several reasons (like logistics of a new Trainer needing to be away for 7 + days to pull this off).
+*The current idea is have new Trainers train neophytes at various locations in the US. Working Group members (one or more) will attend these to observe / assist the new Trainers.
+**The neophyte trainings will be some days to weeks after the Trainers workshop.
+*Content of Workshop (not much discussion on this - probably will take the least work).
+*Trainers: Dave, Nelson, John W., Peter Desmet?, Michele Koo?, Carol Spencer?
+**Note anticipated issue: Getting enough trainees that can give a week-plus of their time to learn and then teach others.
+*Deb will contact all 7 TCNs to get an idea of the count (possible number of persons wanting this sort of training) - email sent 8 May 2012.
+*What are expectations for these Trainers? regarding carrying out training sessions in the future.
+Big Issues for first TTT
+Where? Gainesville, Tallahassee, Tulane, NESCent ?
+When? Fall 2012 suggested.
+How many? 20-25 participants - from all over the US (depending on # of trainers and demand).
+Dave Bloom shared a link to a prior Trainers workshop so we have a format to start from.
+see: http://128.32.146.144/GeorefWorkshops/2011-04-CapeTown/schedule.htmv
+It was decided, at this time, to separate this next part of the workshop from the Train-the-trainers above.
+The current idea is to spread these out across the US (perhaps 3 locations). Those newly trained can host these at their workplace (at their TCN institution) and one or more of the original trainers can attend to observe / assist...including iDigBio staff.
+We are actively seeking invitees from the TCN PI's.
