Posted on behalf of Enrica Porcari (CIO, CGIAR): Dear Participants, We have now officially closed this dialogue on "Opening Access to CGIAR Research and Knowledge". Many thanks to FAO for providing the platform for this dialogue, and to Nancy White who so ably facilitated the discussion, but, most importantly, THANK YOU for your participation and contribution of ideas. From my reading of the discussion, I am pleased to find strong support for what we are trying to achieve with this strategy - maximizing the access to and the use of CGIAR iGPGs (Information Global Public Goods) for improving agricultural research for development activities. We will take advantage of your wisdom to improve the strategy document and make clarifications as warranted. While the discussions and documents are now being moved to the archives, I understand that you will still have the opportunity to post additional comments in the coming months. We will continue to monitor that space in order to make further changes to the strategy as appropriate based on new inputs. You can obtain the latest information on the strategy and other relevant consultative activities, by visiting the ICT-KM Program's website at ictkm.cigar.org. Again, thank you for your participation. Enrica Porcari
