Posted on behalf of Johansen T. Voker, Moderator:

Dear participants,

Thank you all very much for your contributions to the discussions and for your active participation. The online discussion on techniques for engaging the public is now closed. Please note that all the postings will remain in the Online Forum on Public Participation.

A synthesis of the information shared through the discussion groups will be prepared and made available through the Online Forum and will be used in future training activities.

We look forward to your continued contribution to the implementation of the programme of work on public awareness, education and participation concerning the safe transfer, handling and use of LMOs. For more information about the programme of work, please visit http://bch.cbd.int/protocol/cpb_art23_pow.shtml

We also invite you to encourage the public to join and participate in the Facebook site on the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety at https://www.facebook.com/UN.Biosafety

In addition, we have the honour to invite you to participate in a fair on national experiences with the implementation of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to be held on the margins of the seventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol (COP-MOP 7). Please find more information at http://bch.cbd.int/protocol/e-doc/?notification=2202
