I dunno. You got your FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which is right now winding up here in Rome for the 13th time (CGRFA 13). Then of course you got your International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which met a few months ago in Bali for the fourth time. Then you got your WIPO Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore (IGC), whose 19th session is meeting in Geneva about now too. Then you got your Convention on Biological Diversity with its Nagoya Protocol and whatnot. Maybe others too. I just hope somebody out there is in charge of keeping all this stuff straight. Don’t you?
Don’t count on it . . .
