In COP Decision VIII/ 3 it was repeated that the taxonomic
impediment was only going to be relieved when more taxonomic capacity was
retained and further installed. To that end, the COP asked to explore options
to ensure long-term sustainability of financial support for taxonomic work. BioNET‑INTERNATIONAL and
other relevant organisations, in consultation with the Coordination
Mechanism for the GTI were invited to establish a special fund for the Global Taxonomy Initiative.
COP 9
Decision IX/22 welcomed progress toward the establishment of this special
fund
and encouraged BioNET-INTERNATIONAL and the Interim
Steering Committee of the GTI Special Fund to operationalise the Fund prior to
2010. Constructive steps in that direction were set during a two-day workshop
organised by the BioNET Secretariat in Paris.
The brief report of that workshop is available for download.
