NOTIFICATION
No. 2019-078

Dear Madam/Sir,

The Conference of the Parties (COP), at its fourteenth meeting, decided to
establish an Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) with relevant terms of
reference (https://www.cbd.int/doc/decisions/cop-14/cop-14-dec-11-en.pdf),
and, wherever possible, to meet back-to-back with other relevant meetings.
In the same decision, the COP also requested the Executive Secretary to
convene a moderated open online discussion forum to support the
deliberations of the AHTEG.

In response to the above, with the generous financial support from the
Government of Norway, the AHTEG will be meeting in Montreal, Canada from 2
to 4 December 2019, back-to-back with the twenty-third meeting of the
Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice
(SBSTTA-23). The AHTEG meeting will be conducted in English.

Accordingly, I am pleased to invite Parties, other Governments and relevant
organizations to nominate a representative to take part in the AHTEG
meeting. The nominee should meet at least one of the criteria, below:

(a)     Expert involved in invasive alien species management actions at the
community, sub-national, national or regional level;
(b)     Expert with knowledge and experience in risk analysis of alien
species;
(c)     Expert with knowledge and experience in
cost-benefit/cost-effectiveness analysis on invasive alien species
management;
(d)     Expert with knowledge and experience in e-commerce and associated
risks;
(e)     Expert with knowledge and experience in considering the impact of
climate change and related natural disaster or land use change on
biological invasions;
(f)     Expert with knowledge and experience in invasive alien species data
and data tools (e.g. Global Registry of Introduced and Invasive Species,
EICAT, SEICAT or other relevant databases).

Participants will be selected by the Secretariat, in consultation with the
SBSTTA bureau, in accordance with the modus operandi of the Subsidiary Body
(https://www.cbd.int/doc/meetings/cop/cop-08/official/cop-08-16-add4-en.pdf)
on the basis of their expertise, their contributions during the online
forum held in the period from 1 May to 15 September 2019, as well as
geographic and gender balance.

The CBD National Focal Points and Heads of organizations are invited to
nominate an expert, by submitting an official nomination letter accompanied
by the completed attached nomination form and the nominee's Curriculum
Vitae.  The nomination may be sent via fax to: +1-514-288-6588 or via email
to: secretariat at cbd.int, no later than 7 October 2019.

The text of this notification is also available on the CBD website at:
