Biodiversity policy: Access and Benefit Sharing - the Nagoya Protocol

Body: 

The first meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee on the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (ICNP-1) has finished - an unofficial report is available and some resources on the CBD site including a more formal report.  Discussions on the ABS clearing house, capacity building, compliance and awareness-raising.  Most of the discussions are about developing next steps, clarifying interpretation and making proposals for development: a lot of work still to come.
