Observation record submission - what is good practice?

["Jack and Andrea Holland" <>]

Dear subscribers, in response to Julian's, John's and Con's requests, 
Barbara Allan from the Rarities Panel and Records Management Team has 
offered to draw up some "instructions" which I will present briefly for the 
first time at next week's COG meeting.  It is intended that, following their 
acceptance, these will be posted on the COG web site.
As the person responsible for triggering these requests, I trust this will 
be a good outcome.  Part of the motivation for including it in my what to 
watch out for this month column this week was witnessing how valuable these 
COG records and our database are in relation to State of the Environment 
reporting etc.
