Dear Forum Members,

We are happy to announce that the FAO Biotechnology Forum (http://www.fao.org/biotech/biotech-forum/) will host its next e-mail conference from 5 November to 2 December 2012 and that its provisional title is "GMOs in the pipeline: Looking to the next five years in the crop, forestry, livestock, aquaculture and agro-industry sectors in developing countries".

The goal of the conference is to inform the debate about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the pipeline, considering the specific kind of GMOs that are likely to be commercialised in developing countries over the next five years and to discuss their potential implications. As usual, the conference is open to everyone, is free and will be moderated. To subscribe to the conference, send an e-mail to [log in to unmask] with the following one line in the body of the message (leave the subject line blank):
subscribe biotech-room2-L firstname lastname

Where firstname and lastname refer to the person's first and last name. For example, if the subscriber's name is John Smith, then the line should be:
subscribe biotech-room2-L John Smith

For more information, contact [log in to unmask] A background document is being prepared and will be sent to Forum members before the conference begins. Please spread the word about this conference.

This is the 18th e-mail conference to be hosted by the FAO Biotechnology Forum since it was launched in the year 2000.

Best regards

John

p.s. In Summer 2012, FAO changed the system it uses for e-mail newsletters/conferences. With this new system, messages for the FAO Biotechnology Forum will still come from the same e-mail address as before (i.e. [log in to unmask]). However, instructions for subscribing and unsubscribing have been changed. So, if any of your colleagues wish to subscribe to the FAO Biotechnology Forum, they should now send an e-mail message to [log in to unmask] with only the following one line in the body of the message (i.e. leave the subject line blank and have no other text, such as an e-mail signature, in the message):
subscribe Biotech-L firstname lastname

Firstname and lastname refer to the person's first and last name. For example, if the subscriber's name is John Smith, then the line should be:
subscribe Biotech-L John Smith

Also, if anyone wishes to leave the FAO Biotechnology Forum, they should now send an e-mail to [log in to unmask] leaving the subject blank and entering the following text:
SIGNOFF Biotech-L

p.p.s. For those of you who do not know about it, FAO also produces a free e-mail newsletter called FAO-BiotechNews in all six official UN languages. Its main focus is on the activities of FAO, of other UN agencies/bodies and of the 15 CGIAR research centres. News items about new documents are included in the newsletter if the documents are freely available on the web, and for each item an e-mail contact is also provided. The newsletter was launched in January 2002 and all news items (over 850) posted since then are available at http://www.fao.org/biotech/biotech-news/en/ while all events are available at http://www.fao.org/biotech/biotech-events/en/

If you and/or your colleagues wish to subscribe to the English-language newsletter, just send an e-mail message to [log in to unmask] with only the following one line in the body of the message (i.e. leave the subject line blank and have no other text, such as an e-mail signature, in the message):
subscribe FAO-BiotechNews-L firstname lastname

Firstname and lastname refer to the person's first and last name. For example, if the subscriber's name is John Smith, then the line should be:
