Work group 1 - Political challenges, outreach and building a global network (TBC)

---+ The contents below are from the old website (TBC) +---

Working Group 1 is developing a long-term plan to shape political level involvement in GMI development at the global, regional and national level.

The first goal is to establish a functional link to political level decision makers in several countries or regional, international organizations.

The second goal is to initiate a coherent system for international discussion of relevant themes, e.g. global health diplomacy, coordination between different sectors, sensitivity of metadata, open access database of genome sequences, sharing of strains over borders, intellectual property rights (IPR), and funding.
