Working group 1 has developed a draft Charter and Structure document: GMI consists of the Platform, organizing body, including e.g. the Steering Committee and the Working Groups, and the Community Network that receives news, invitations and general news about the initiative.
A first structuring of the GMI movement must aim to continue to minimize bureaucracy whilst maximizing the flexibility that has characterized GMI thus far. A draft version was discussed at GMI6 and following GMI6 it was sent to the GMI Community Network for comments. This version is now final.
To ensure involvement and progress in the GMI initiative, we ask everybody, who wishes to participate as an active member in one or more working groups to accept the charter and sign up for membership.
Become a member of GMIGMI envisions a global system of DNA genome databases for microbial and infectious disease identification and diagnostics. Such a system will benefit those tackling individual problems at the frontline, clinicians, veterinarian, etc., as well as policy-makers, regulators, and industry.
By enabling access to this global resource, a professional response on health threats will be within reach of all countries with basic laboratory infrastructure.
