How does it work ?…
• Selection of events through the Call for Contributions – proposals to be submitted by 15 October 2011
• On-line process (with several mechanisms to encourage people to partner instead of creating individual events)
• Competitive process (limited number of slots available)
• Proposals evaluated against a series of criteria(all components of IUCN involved in the process)
A separate announcement will be made at the beginning of 2012 for receptions and social events
