APBioNet Proposals

This Webpage contains a list of current and recent requests for your feedback and approval. This is part of APBioNet's transparent procedures to involve the APBioNet Membership in the decision making process.

If you have a proposal on any idea, please send it to sec@apbionet.org.
The Secretariat is constantly working on projects and proposals, and can help you to draft up a proposal for approval by the ExCo.

Once the ExCo has approved and the secretariat made the necessary revisions, if any, the paper may be put up at this website and sent to the announce@apbionet.org mailing list for dissemination to members.

If the membership approves and rough consensus is achieved, the Secretariat will carry out the contents of the proposal in conjunction with the proposed parties.
