Hello Debra

I believe I am no longer on the committee and should be taken off the email lists. Best wishes in finalising the data sharing policy.

Hi all,

Please find attached the minutes from our October meeting. Please also find attached the clean and tracked versions of the Data Sharing policy — these are the same as the document circulated with the October agenda, with the addition of one comment/question for the Executive Council.

Please reply with any final comments or your sign-off on this draft by Friday October 17th. If a majority approves, this draft will go back to the Executive Council for review. Many thanks! 

[More ...]

Hi all,

Apologies for losing track of the below request — I received no responses regarding the Data Sharing policy, so will forward it as is to the Executive Committee first thing tomorrow.

Please find attached our November meeting agenda. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Best,
Debra

Hi all,

Thank you for the productive meeting yesterday! Please find the minutes attached.

As a small bit of follow-up, I did ask today at the end of my brief presentation at the EBP annual business meeting for potential case studies to help us think through the question of compensating sample collectors and received helpful feedback and a number of offers to talk. More t discuss at our December meeting!

Dear Debra and ELSI committee members

I am sorry, I can not attend the meeting later today. My mother passed away last night and there is lots for me to do.

The EC approved the Data Sharing policy, with some minor wording changes, as attached. The first paragraph was restructured to say positively what the purpose of the document is, not to start negatively with it being not in conflict with the IP policy. The wording concerning permits was changed to “include permit information” rather than “attach permits” because various people said that complete incorporation of permits was not possible

I vote *YES*!

As the convener of the policy, I note that the text about blurring of location currently says:

Blurring of the location beyond 1km is permitted when needed to protect the conservation status of sensitive species or populations, or if requested by an Indigenous people or local community in order to protect their cultural heritage when sampling in proximity to a site of cultural significance.

Hi there,
I am happy with this draft, but would like to extend the embargo period to
3 years, since in some countries it take more time to realize the lab work.

Hi Uljana,

The meeting ended at about 9:50am EDT yesterday morning, so we must have just missed you! We finalized and sent forward the data sharing draft, but I expect that we will receive comments back from the EC and so will have it back on our agenda next month.

One reason for the 1-year embargo was advice from the lawyers that in order
to be exempt from export sanctions, 1 year was probably the maximum.

Hello Uljana

That was Bob not me who replied about the export sanctions. He was talking about US export restrictions, which prevent US entities from privately sharing data with China, Iran and other places. It has been determined that putting data under embargo while having colleagues in these countries part of the consortium can be seen as breaking these export sanctions, but 1 year was accepted as a compromise. 

[More ...]

And just to clarify.

I agree with Richard that US law/policy should not drive EBP policy.

The export controls are for US researchers or their collaborators who share
technology or data with some Chinese companies known to have engaged in
genomic surveillance in China. Since some folks are using data generated
by BGI or MGI (firms listed) or Complete Genomics (owned by BGI), it came
up a couple of years ago. There's an exception for "fundamental research,"
and we believe EBP data would be covered by that exception so long as the
data is shared in a public database. Otherwise,

Dear Colleagues,

Dear all

I am sorry I have been pre-occupied by other things. My position I don’t think is so far from, or incompatible with, Uljana’s.

I am very happy for any nation to make a list of species, or classes of species (such as all plants, or all vertebrates, or all species) for which they do not wish EBP members to generate and deposit reference genomes in INSDC, where these are generated from samples derived from their territory. That is their sovereign right under CBD. Currently New Zealand says no to all species, which is totally OK and we all

Hi all,

Here are my comments:

1. I prefer Uljana’s language: “This implies that this reference sequence information be free of any legal encumbrances, including patents or restrictive use licenses”. My concern with any language that includes “mandate” is that it reads punitively, and we do not really have authority or capacity to uphold it.

Hello everyone

Here is the current draft Data Sharing policy. The only significant changes since the last circulated version are (1) that following Krystal’s comments I have added an explicit reference to LocalContexts, and (2) that I added paragraph 4 about there being a one-year limit on embargos, modelling the language on that in the Governance document.

Important changes and clarifications. Especially since many Latin American

people in the Americas, such as Peru recently has done and Nicaragua did

Really helpful, Joe.

Deb, could you send a link to the current version of the IP statement. I'd
like to check the language. I think we may be OK in how we used
"Indigenous Peoples and Local Communites," and that's in some treaty
language. But I wonder if we should instead use "Indigenous sovereign
nations and local communities" to make the distinction clearer, although
that may actually be worse, since some nation-states do not recognize
sovereign nations. Suggestions, Joe or Krystal or others? 

[More ...]

No abstract is available available for this message. [Read Message ...]

I agree that Joe’s document is informative and useful, and I understand that the issues are real and important.

But I believe that the IP policy is now approved by the Membership Council and adopted. I don’t think it makes sense to go back and change the wording at this point.

Dear colleagues, I will suggest to be inclusive but not "provocative";
using indigenous people & local populations is enough. All the best, lily

This is basically an argument for augmenting current data structures and
not building a new database.

Makes sense.

But a few observations about the text, which are probably too difficult to
accommodate, but perhaps worth observing.

It is quite common for such statements to begin with a description of the
organization and the members it represents. But it's irrelevant to the
substance and could be handled by a footnote. It delays getting to the
point to paragraph 3.

Hi all,

I have only received votes on the IP guidelines from six members of the committee — 51% of the full committee (currently 17 people) is required for approval. Please reply to me ASAP and by end of day Monday at the latest with your vote.

The minutes from the March meeting and the final draft of the IP principles are attached.

Hi all,

The IP principles document has been approved by the committee (10 Yes; 0 No; 7 folks didn’t vote). It will now be forwarded to the Executive Committee for final vote/adoption by the EBP.

Dear ELSI Team:

The time has come for me to depart from the wonderful ELSI Committee and devote my time to other academic activities. I have a number of manuscripts and books as well a local conservation efforts that I need to focus on for the next few years. I will always be available for further consultation on issues, such as DSI, and will join discussions when appropriate. Our Chair Debra is aware of my availability.

John,

Many thanks for your service! I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with and learn from you.

I wish you luck in your writing projects and offer my thanks for your conservation efforts!

Hi all,

Forwarding on a new document by the AfricaBP ELSI Subcommittee, the
"Practical Guide to Accessing and Sharing Biological Diversity Material and
Data: A Research Stage-Based Approach." Rob Waterhouse (of our Governance
Comm) gave me the heads-up and says it appears to be more of a checklist
than a guide. I haven't had the chance to review it yet.

Dear Harris,

I’m writing to follow up on my meeting with the Executive Committee in January regarding the EBP IP Policy drafted by the ELSI Committee.

We have made a change to the opening paragraph that we think addresses Mark Blaxter’s concern, but would like his feedback on this point.

Thank you and the ELSI Committee for the revised document. The EC will discuss the document at our next meeting on February 26. I will get back to you with the EC’s comments after the meeting.

Hello all

With respect to the Data Sharing discussion, here is a link to the current document, after I merged in some proposals and tidied up in other ways.

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.google.com/document/d/12RFngmKMFGGlcQDtGGkRIITD_gao8GpIPCExszc8FQQ/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!bca0YWjK5y_RLHwuT2Od45aV1KcrykAtfNATDBB-opmBfDn-bMvKftesIp-V7kR16vcBQgtLq5JXQA$

Note that people have proposed edits to the EBP Governance Document which are not in our remit, but I have left in for now – we can forward them to the governance committee in due course. None seem urgent to me, but they can consider them when they want to look at the document again.

Hello All,

After today's meeting, I remembered about this program. Many Indigenous
scientists wear several hats in addition to those
ascribed by the scientific method and the West's understanding of what
science means to them.

The ELSI parts of projects usually do not have any other route than to go
through Indigenous scientists as often
Indigenous Academia is spread too thin.

Thanks, Joe! I also want to highlight attention to our IndigiData<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://indigidata.org/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!e4BVk0akP4z_frj-LBqpMAPm-8aAb1xwd1y-JQHFAI3lmHiwRKLAWotucc8IllBKyvQEwKatvu1HKR_aSohUrArv$ > Indigenous data science workshop, co-led by the Native BioData Consortium, ASU, and University of Wisconsin. This workshop targets Indigenous graduate and undergraduate students, and is led by Indigenous researchers in the spaces of IDSov and various data types related to conservation, biodiversity across the taxa, and One Health.

Hi all,

Hank and I have had diametrically opposed schedules and so have just this evening managed to have a conversation to do a formal handoff of ELSI Committee Chairing duties, and for me to get a debrief of the February meeting, which I missed due to travel.

As such, and with apologies, I am cancelling the 3/13 (3/14) meeting and will reschedule it for Wednesday the 20th or Thursday the 28th. I will send another email soon with the details (including a draft agenda).

Dear all

Here is a draft Data Sharing policy, together with some notes/supporting material that were discussed.

Google docs are here with the possibility of adding comments in Suggestion mode – you should all have access.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/158Yb6_YTN12c7tMNn8IlSg68dXMBWxpjMye9kEbAsuw/edit?usp=sharing

For those on the subgroup who met last week, I restricted rather than enlarged the scope of the “collectors” text in 2(b). I mailed those who contributed to the discussion about this a couple of days ago (Ann, Maui, Debra) but didn’t hear back from any of them – I hope my email got through.

Dear all

I am attaching my thoughts on the current draft of the policy and in particular point 2, on top of Uljana’s so they are in one document.

The statement that EBP sequences have to be free of all encumbrances that was in the first paragraph is not compatible with the EBP Governance document that we have all previously agreed – see below. EBP recognises that there are national and IPLC rights and equitable interests, and there will be tension between these and unrestricted use. EBP supports efforts including the WIPO treaty on Genetic Resources https://www.wipo.int/edocs/mdocs/mdocs/en/gratk_dc/gratk_dc_exsum.pdf and the Cali

Next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, January 11 though I just realized I am going to be in Chile that day (currently +5 hours from California) and I don’t know my schedule.
