Quoting Michelle.Price@ville-ge.ch:

> Dear CETAF Directors, Dear CETAF Representatives, Dear Colleagues,
>
> At the upcoming meeting in Bratislava, Slovakia, on the 14th and 15th
> November, CETAF will be bringing taxonomy back onto its agenda, and back
> into focus. We will hold a workshop on taxonomy within CETAF to begin to
> shape our vision and ambitions for the future, and as a central
> contribution to the CETAF Joint Research Agenda for Biodiversity and
> Geodiversity sciences that we are in the process of developing as a
> community.
>
> CETAF has been invited to contribute to the Global Taxonomy Initiative
> Forum (https://www.cbd.int/gti) that will be held in Egypt on the 16th
> November 2018, just before the COP14. As the GTI Forum is concurrent with
> the CETAF Governing Board meeting and post meeting activities in
> Bratislava, Hendrick Segers (RBINS, and the Belgian GTI National Focal
> point) has kindly agreed to represent CETAF, in the Forum where he will
> present on the importance of natural history collections, and their
> associated scientists, in underpinning CBD implementation.
>
> To support CETAF’s vested interest in taxonomy remaining on the agenda
> post-2020, and to encourage closer collaborations with the GTI of the CBD
> in the future, the CETAF Bratislava Declaration has been prepared by Chris
> Lyal (NHM London, and the UK GTI National Focal point) and the CETAF
> Executive Committee (see pdf version below).
>
> To facilitate the finalisation of this document for the 15th November
> (where upon it will be transmitted to the CBD GTI coordinator), please
> indicate:
>
> A: whether you would like to be removed from the list of signatories
>
> B: whether you approve the document and would like to remain a signatory
> to the declaration
>
> To expediate the process, a lack of response to this email will be
> interpreted as option 2 (B - approval and signing of the document by your
> institution).
>
> I thank you in advance for your support of this initiative, and I look
> forward to seeing you next week in Bratislava.
