The functions of the Audiovisual Core Maintenance Group are described in detail in <a href="https://github.com/tdwg/vocab/blob/master/vms/maintenance-specification.md#2-administration">Section 2 of the TDWG Vocabulary Maintenance Specification</a>. In brief, the Maintenance Group manages vocabulary term additions and changes, and maintains the documentation that helps users to understand and apply the standard. As an Interest Group, it may establish Task Groups to accomplish broader changes to the standard.</p> <p>The activities of the AC Maintenance Group are documented at the group’s Github repository, <a href="https://github.com/tdwg/ac">https://github.com/tdwg/ac</a>, where a current list of core members and their contact information can be found. Community participation is welcome. If you would like to participate in this group, contact the convener or one of the core members.</p> <p>To participate in the communications of the group, “watch” the group’s <a href="https://github.com/tdwg/ac/issues">Issues tracker</a>.
