Organizations interested in applying for the Coordinating Institution (CI) of the different thematic networks (Species, Specimens, Ecosystems, Protected Areas, and Pollinators) should send letters of interest indicating the organizations qualifications to complete the Terms of Reference once they have been posted to the address as indicated on www.iabin.net.  The General Secretariat of the OAS will then invite more complete proposals to provide the indicated consulting services under each Thematic Network based on a short list that has been selected by a Thematic Network Evaluation Panel approved by the IABIN Executive Committee.
