First draft:

“As part of the ongoing enhancements to the CESSDA Vocabulary Service, we are changing the format of the CSV exports of vocabularies, in order to include deprecation information (where relevant).

If you are a consumer of CSV exports, please get in touch so we can understand your Use Cases and try to make non-breaking changes to the format.”

DDI Controlled Vocabularies Group consists of CESSDA members except for Sanda. Darren is a member of DDI Technical Committee and he already commented on John’s Basecamp message so should come to the knowledge of TC via Darren, I believe.
