Attached are the list of required and optional standard attributes that should be submitted with an IUCN range map. The point attributes tab lists those attributes that are required and optional for point data and the respective equivalent Darwin Code term. Requested that download format would only comprise of those fields.

So, these are the fields, but there are a few that aren't actually Darwin Core.

I assume they'll want text (tab-delimited) format, though we can now supply AVRO format too.
@andrewrodrigues, I need
Given that, it will be quick (next day or so) before something is ready to look at on gbif-uat.org.
I gather this will be brought up on an IUCN technical group meeting shortly. We'll aim to get a contact who understands the IUCN format well and implications of these decisions and complete the mapping. Once reviewed by the working group we anticipate that GBIF will deploy the IUCN download format for any query on GBIF.
The IUCN has guidelines on how to take Darwin Core and convert it into a format used in the IUCN mapping standards.
We should explore what GBIF can do to simplify this process, by offering a native download format (i.e. using their field names), providing a simple format that includes only the fields of interest, or enabling a more flexible "select your fields to download" format.
@andrewrodrigues is our IUCN liaison for this
